Are there any others that anyone can suggest? rdf/xml as an XML application requires the rdf:RDF document element, in order for it to be legal XML. As a special case, when rdf/xml is embedded inside other formats, or the context can tell you that it is rdf/xml (somehow), then you can omit it. My latest words on this are: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/#start (last working draft) http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/#start (editors draft) As to what parsers do this - the Java ARP parser does, and so does my C Raptor parser (which can be used via several languages). Is there any particular other requirement you have which means you need something else? I can probably suggest others. Cheers Dave
