Hello Aaron, Wednesday, May 22, 2002, 10:07:32 PM, you wrote: Things I'd like to see developed in this model: * RDF-Model (a clean version of N-Triples) * RDF-Logic (a FOL system with URIs) * RDF-Query (a standardized API and syntax for managing RDF) * RDF-Sites (an outline for how RDF fits with HTTP). ======================================================== Suppose it will be helpful for the "core team" to look at some more deep foundation for the "Triple model" . It is founded on an "assembly" of the Classification Theory, Measurement Theory , Semiotics etc. There are some comments in my paper "To keep abreast of the 21st century". I have put an English version on my site under "the IT papers" --> "For CIO" item.
