I have a related question ... is there special software to create RDF/XML files that doesn't subscribe to the bubbles-arrows-and-boxes philosophy? Personally, I find that it's much easier to write :007 a foaf:Person; foaf:surname "Bond"; foaf:name "James Bond". and run it through an n3 converter than it is to, say: double-right-click the window to create a new resource bubble double click the resource bubble to assign a URI to the resource type "007" double-control-click the window to create a new literal box double-click the literal box to assign a value to the literal type "Bond" right-drag from the literal bubble to the literal to create a relation arrow double-click the relation arrow to assign a predicate to the relation type "foaf:surname" double-control-click the window to create a new literal box double-click the literal box to assign a value to the literal type "James Bond" right-drag from the literal bubble to the literal to create a relation arrow double-click the relation arrow to assign a predicate to the relation type "foaf:name" Does anybody see what I'm getting at? Not only that, but once you get more than a handful of resources, the window starts to get cluttered, hard to edit in, and hard to navigate. On the one hand, I find the 'intuitive' graphical user interface to be frustrating and clunky. On the other hand, I feel that there must be a better fit for editing RDF than a plain old text editor. - Dave -- Alas! The onion you are eating is someone else's water lily.
