[XML-SIG] 4RDF on XML.com

[uche.ogbuji@fourthought.com]

I just wanted to note that my write-up on 4RDF is this week's feature article 
on XML.com

It's been an interesting time since we offered up the first public glimpse of 
4RDF.  A lot of quite excited response.  Dan Brickley, editor of the RDF 
Schema spec, in an e-mail exchange with me, mentioned he thought the feature 
set was good enough that he'd consider learning Python.  Indeed I went on to 
take a look at the other RDF systems out there and I think 4RDF is way ahead 
of the pack.  It avoids the horrid contortions of the SIRPAC API and provides 
full support from models, containers, full serialization/deserialization, 
reification, etc. through schemas.  It provides extra amenities such as 
pluggable back ends and Inference through RDF Inference Language.

At any rate, there's much more to read at

http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/10/11/rdf/index.html

and until next Thursday, simply

http://www.xml.com

Will suffice.

Comments are welcome, especially from this group.
