I am talking about something that maps XML information items to triples. Here's an example: One of the serializations of foo , bar , baz is <rdf:Description about="foo"> <bar rdf:resource="baz"/> </rdf:Description> So the mapping rule is (roughly) when you hit a rdf:Description[@about]/*[@rdf:resource] then add the triple ../@about , name() , @rdf:resource This looks a lot more like XSLT than anything else to me. I believe that most of the syntax of the RDF M&S could be expressed in similar fashion and FURTHERMORE that all the XML documents I have that are RDF-like but not quite (because they use ref instead of rdf:resource, for example) could be mapped to triples just as easily.
