I'm pleased to announce that the RDF Core working group has
published a new version of the RDF/XML working draft revising the
syntax originally specified in the RDF Model and Syntax W3C
Recommendation.
RDF/XML Syntax Specification (Revised)
W3C Working Draft 8 November 2002
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-rdf-syntax-grammar-20021108/
The main changes from the previous 25 March 2002 draft are as
follows:
Section 2 "An XML syntax for RDF" expanded with many more examples.
-- in particular we ask for feedback on this section since it has a
lot of new words and examples.
RDF typed literals added using a new rdf:datatype attribute.
-- so you can mark literals as being of type XSD integer, for example.
rdf:nodeID attribute added to allow referencing of blank nodes.
-- this makes going from RDF graphs to RDF/XML a lot easier
rdf:parseType="Collection" added for collections of nodes.
-- modelled after daml:Collection, generating a lisp-like triple
structure of rdf:first, rdf:rest, rdf:nil.
Some non-namespaced attributes were returned to the grammar:
ID, bagID, about, resource, parseType or type
-- this makes a lot of existing RDF/XML work without warnings.
plus many other more minor changes after RDF Core WD decisions made
since the last draft.
Detailed changes:
