RDF syntax does have some fiddly corner cases so ~80% complete parsers aren't unheard of. > Evan > > P.S.

Far more wholesome! http://www.w3.org/2001/08/rdfweb/foafwho/_smallbeer_clipart.png http://www.w3.org/2001/08/rdfweb/foafwho/_smallbeer_clipart.svg http://www.w3.org/2001/08/rdfweb/foafwho/_smallbeer_outline.svg see also http://xmlns.com/wordnet/1.6/Beer for relevant sub-classes(*) If you're an XSLT fan, rummage around http://www.w3.org/2001/08/rdfweb/foafwho/imagemap/ for MaxF's XSLT that turns HTML imagemaps into SVG image annotations... Dan (*) my slightly broken Wordnet-on-the-Web service is evocative but flawed, confusing senses with terms. hoping to completer-finish this soon...
