AaronSw: I don't think this has been chumped before...
 
 
 
libby: also rdf version
libby: basically minutes rather than a summary
libby: see also TMQL list
libby: also rdf version
 
danbri: SOAP wrapped around Cwm would be fun; as would SOAP-based externally defined predicates
 
danbri: Why mirroring is good, and why URIs work: MIT is down today with a major power outage. But documents with http://www.w3.org/* names are still being served by the Web
 
DanC_: new in version 1.5: outputs RDF/xml
DanC_: considering re-working the r:authors stuff
DanC_: output from 1.4
DanC_: output from 1.4, converted to RDF/xml via cwm
DanC_: what property to use to relate writers to their names?
DanC_: foaf:name? dca:agentName? cyc:nameOfAgent? all 3? none of the above?
DanC_: I wonder what the dublin core architecture group has to say about this...
DanC_: new in 1.6: reworked dc:creator, contact:fullName, related stuff
DanC_: output is begin updated to 1.6 form too.
DanC_: other conversions of the RFC index: armware
DanC_: another conversion: faqs.org
DanC_: another: active RFC index
DanC_: rfcindex by Niel H, 2000
 
AaronSw: It'd be a snap to convert this to get N3 versions of RDF/XML
sbp: for Apache...
 
Why RDF/XML is good
AaronSw: - Tools
AaronSw: - Namespace mixing with other apps
AaronSw: - XSLT can parse it
 
danbri: Some of Tom Hubbard's drafts from last year, and links to anything else I can find relevant.
danbri: See also the Dec 2000 P3P Candidate Recommendation
 
danbri: "Since Perl is a typeless language (in the sence that there is no difference between an integer 123 and a string '123') the transformation process from a SOAP message to Perl data is very simple. For most simple types we can just ignore types during this stage. However there are drawbacks also: we need to provide additional information during the generation of our SOAP message, because another side (server) may expect to get type information.
danbri: ..."force you to type every parameter explicitly. It tries to guess the datatype based on the actual value stored in the variable, and behave appropriately (according to another Perl's motto, DWIM, 'Do What I Mean').
danbri: "...You may alter this behavior in several ways. You may disable it completely (with autotype(0)), you
danbri: "...may change autotyping for different types, or you may explicitly specify type for your variable:"
danbri: my $var = SOAP::Data->type(string => 123);
bijan: The web is more amorphous and unstructured than necessary. In recognition of this, the XML community is providing a powerful syntax for adding structure to the web. Cyc enhances XML by providing a powerful universal semantics for modeling objects descri
