Comments very welcome. I'll have a look at this, but I've also given some thought to an RDF repr for Versa since Arnold deVos mentioned it might be useful to some. I don't really think it's important for an RDF QL to be in RDF, and I would much rather not work with one expressed solely in RDF. Then again, I'd also rather not work with one in the SQL idiom. -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org http://fourthought.com Track chair, XML/Web Services One (San Jose, Boston): http://www.xmlconference.com/ DAML Reference - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/05/01/damlref.html The Languages of the Semantic Web - http://www.newarchitectmag.com/documents/s= 2453/new1020218556549/index.html XML, The Model Driven Architecture, and RDF @ XML Europe - http://www.xmleurope.com/2002/kttrack.asp#themodelReceived on Friday, 31 May 2002 16:44:14 UTC
