dajobe: Running a Weblog from IRC, Edd Dumbill
 
AaronSw: Guidelines for authors creating new "XML tagsets" to ensure that they have sufficient semantics for acessibilty (and consequently, repurposability)
 
dajobe: [[im Berners-Lee has also been investigating non-XML syntaxes. It is often said that one of the main obstacles to the greater success of RDF over the last two years has been its syntax. ]]
dajobe: [[The W3C has a strong culture of discussion and development using IRC, which is line-based. This seems to have been a contributing factor in the development of "Notation 3" (N3), a line-based syntax for RDF.
AaronSw: Hmm, was it really developed in IRC? Neat. However, it's no more "line-based" than RDF/XML.
DanC: indeed, there were a lot of ad-hoc notations used for squeezing RDF thru IRC that TimBL and I struggled with around the time he wrote the original N3 design note.
DanC: we use prolog p(s, o) and lisp (p s o) quite a bit, but they lack features from RDF/xml like the ability to repeat the p's and o's without repeating the s's.
DanC: we're not the first ones down this path; the conceptual graph syntax is very similar to N3.
DanC: my motivation for the original N3 implementation was to be able to write RDF on a palm-pilot. I haven't gottent there yet; my palm-pilot broke and I haven't replaced it.
