You might have a look at the xml-dev archives [2] for discussions on this topic (indeed, a search on "relational database" gives some results). See also writings from Tim Berners-Lee on "Relational Databases on the Semantic Web" [4] as well as "What the Semantic Web isn't but can Represent" [5]. Bert Bos has written something [3] that's available on the W3C Web site. I hope this helps. Depending on what you're looking for (information about XML generally or information about relational databases and the Web), I recommend consulting either the XML Activity home page [6] or the Semantic Web home page [7], respectively. - Ian [1] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ [2] http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ [3] http://www.w3.org/XML/RDB.html [4] http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/RDB-RDF [5] http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/RDFnot [6] http://www.w3.org/XML/ [7] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ -- Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 718 260-9447
