I understand this -- the issue is not that the RDF is bad, but that generic RDF processors cannot be used as PRISM processors. In other words, I can't take SiRPAC or Redland off-the-shelf and use it to manipulate PRISM. This may not be a major issue, but it does bother me that you're requiring the use of special tools to use PRISM and not being truly open RDF. -- [ Aaron Swartz | me@aaronsw.com | http://www.aaronsw.com ]
