dajobe: draft with N=8 things added to N-Triples
dajobe: already implemented in Raptor CVS plus it's still a subset of N3
mortenf: Hmm, "Text content-encoding changed from ASCII to UTF-8" might not be seen as "plus", unless it's optional (as in, the standard escaping is still possible)
mortenf: which it is, so no problem.
mortenf: Oh, and the suggestion regarding @base and @language looks nice.
sbp: The Unicode ranges allowed in the name component probably move it away from being a subset of N3, but it's a good feature nontheless.
sbp: Ignoring whitespace between tokens will probably enable clashes with N3's path syntax too--N3 is whitespace significant now, AFAIK
sbp: If it were to be taken to NTriples+9, I'd vote for () parens-for-RDF-lists syntax as being the next most useful feature. It's like RDF/XML's parseType="Collection"
sbp: One major thing that's missing: the ability to do "[ :x :y ] .", i.e. have a blank bNode by itself, with its predicate and object pairs inside it only
sbp: "[]" is missing too
dajobe: the former doesn't seem a major thing to me
dajobe: the latter was a transcription error, it does work in the code
dajobe: I do think that if I added one more thing it would be the list '('...')' notation
 
danbri: I'm behind the times! Edd wrote this up a couple months ago. Pretty cool!
 
danbri: A live Web interface to a copy of DanC's ical2rdf.pl. Very handy! :)
DanC: wow... the documentation for this thing looks excellent, even though I don't read japanese.
