Mark, if i look at your example: > <Person ID="3"> > <url>http://www.acme.com/ids/0001</url> > <name>Jane Smith</name> > <birth-date>1970-11-17</birth-date> > <nationality>US</nationality> > <father IDREF="1" /> > <mother IDREF="2"/> > </Person> all i need to make a valid RDF-document out of it is to add namespace declarations: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns= "http://www.rdfschema.org/mynamespace.rdf#"> at the beginning and </rdf:RDF> at the end, and to replace ID with rdf:ID. Thats it. <?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns= "http://www.rdfschema.org/mynamespace.rdf#"> <Person rdf:ID="3"> <url>http://www.acme.com/ids/0001</url> <name>Jane Smith</name> <birth-date>1970-11-17</birth-date> <nationality>US</nationality> <father IDREF="1" /> <mother IDREF="2"/> </Person> </rdf:RDF> Maybe the syntax isn't that bad.... CU, Stefan >I'm not saying RDF serialisation isn't useful, but it is not what marks >RDF out. > >Best regards, > >Mark Birbeck >x-port.net Ltd. > >E: Mark.Birbeck@x... >T: +44 (20) 7878 1509 > >(Putting full signature now because there seem to be two of us who just >put 'Mark' at the end of our emails!) *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
