Hi Jeremy, How does XSLT 2.0 help the RDF/XML to TriX transform. What advantage does it have over XSLT 1.0 to perform this task? And shouldn't we be using a parser rather than an XML technology to process raw RDF/XML? My practical experience is that XSLT cannot reliably read triples. We might get close but the XSLT gets so horrendously complicated and unmaintainable that it not worth using. Show me a stylesheet that purports to extract triples with 100% reliability and an example RDF/XML instance and I am sure that even I with a limited knowledge of the RDF Syntax spec could produce an identical instance (same triples) that would break it.
