XML versus RDF
by Freek Dijkstra 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Hello, One of the topics that have come up in private conversations is our motivation to pick RDF as the syntax to describe networks in NDL [1]. So we created a document stating the differences (and similarities) between XML and RDF, and which strengths made us use RDF. I would appreciate some feedback on our thoughts. Since adding a document to gridforge was not as trivial as I expected, I simply attach the document to this e-mail. [1] http://www.science.uva.nl/research/sne/ndl/ Regards, Freek Dijkstra PS: I appreciate some help on how to upload this file to the SourceForge page. There is even a help file on the process. Surely, it can't be that hard. 1. Click Documents. OK, there is s Documents tab of one of the NML-WG pages. No sweat. 2. Navigate to the folder in which you want to create the document. Hmm, can't I create a new folder. Oh, well. The "meetings" folder is probably the best pick. 3. Create document Ehhhh.... OK, surely I must login in first, what was my username and password again. Oh, uesrname is case-sensitive. Hrmpf. OK, now let's see if that gets me a "Create document" button. Oh. It does not. OK, add myself to the project. Request permission. Wow, someone is awake, I'm added within 5 minutes. Thanks, stranger! So, let's add that document now. Still nothing. Other folder. Uh oh. Perhaps e-mail isn't so bad after all...

SML
by Franco Travostino 01 Feb '07

At OGF19 I've had several chats in which SML came across as adding some value to the NML thrust. The attached document makes some interesting contributions in establishing references among XML documents and making assertions. I'd be interested in discussing how RDF/OWL and SML relate to one another vis a vis with the NML goals. -franco
