Hi Uche Uche said: I just hope you're not mistaking me for anyone in the W3C. I'm just a lowly developer as you are. Didier replies: I know who you are Uche, I am not a newbe to the XML-Dev world you know ;-) My comment was more a comment or a statement that we poor XML developers depends on the gods (W3C) since they write the recommendation and the XML developers follow the rule to respect these recommendations. Uche said: I agree that some aspects of RDF's heavy reliance on namespaces can be a weakness. But I want to point out that although the solution does impair readability, I think it's still a valid solution. Besides, if you don't mind one level of additional processing, it's quite easy to embed the rules about the non-differentiated properties into an attendant stylesheet. In fact, the product I work on, 4Suite Server, provides a mechanism for establishing RDF metadata from arbitrary XML using rules encoded with XPath. Didier replies: Interesting Uche, let us know when you'll have completed this new tool. I take a look at it with a lot of interests.
