RE: comment on /2001/11/13-RDF-Query-Rules/

Eric,

In serviceGraph.png, you show the value of the property wsdl:name as
a resource node having the same URIref as the subject. I.e. the subject
and object appear to be the same. Did you mean for the object of
the wsdl:name statement to be a literal?

Also, is the service 'es' or 'es:EndorsementSearchService' (not being
terribly well versed in WSDL)?

BTW, here's yet another RDF Query language. Open source tools forthcoming
shortly... (see attachments for details)

The benefits (IMO) are that it's all RDF, both query and results, and
the same results provide both for applications wanting statements
as well as those wanting bindings.

Taking your example:

<!DOCTYPE rdf:RDF [
   <!ENTITY rdf    "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
   <!ENTITY wsdl   "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
   <!ENTITY wssoap "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/">
   <!ENTITY rdfq   "http://sw.nokia.com/RDFQ-2/">
]>

<rdf:RDF 
   xmlns:rdf    ="&rdf;"
   xmlns:wsdl   ="&wsdl;"
   xmlns:wssoap ="&wssoap;"
   xmlns:rdfq   ="&rdfq;"

<rdfq:Query rdfq:variable="service">

           <rdf:Description rdfq:variable="binding">
              <wssoap:style rdf:resource="&wssoap;document"/>
              <wsdl:name>
                 <rdf:Description rdfq:variable="bindingName"/>
              </wsdl:name>
           </rdf:Description>
        </wsdl:binding>
     </rdf:Description>
  </wsdl:hasPort>
</rdfq:Query>

RETURNS

Since RDFQ is just an RDF vocabulary, any RDF serialization is fine.
