Nacho: This page describes the working draft spec for transforming an RDF nodegraph to hierarchial XML.
Nacho: The spec has been fleshed out with more documentation, though it's still a work in progress. Feedback is much appreciated.
 
teefal: How did this happen? Why is the Semantic Web so misunderstood by so many? Here's my guess...
teefal: So, here we are, watching terms like "Web 2.0" and "folksonomies" get traction instead, simply because pundits (who can write clearly) understand them more easily, and don't need to know Backus-Naur Form to grok what's going on.
teefal: (forgive the promotion ... looks like by blog got bumped from Planet RDF)
libby: I vote for teefal back on the rdf planet!
bijan: Plenty of people attempt to make the Semantic Web appealing and intelligible...point in fact that there are a lot of barriers to anything getting widespread adoption.
bijan: I actually see Web 2.0/tagging/etc. as useful to the SemWeb. Just Do Them Better.
 
 
dajobe: with SPARQL alignment update for double, decimal and a pile of other changes
dajobe: (FYI it was 2006-01-01 here at GMT-8 when I wrote it, but the RCS ID is in UTC)
