RE: [xdi] Beating the RDF drum

Gabe,

I couldn't agree with you more about the relationship between XDI and RDF. I
posted last night a first draft analysis [1] of that relationship and the
new v4 XDI metaschema proposal [2].

We identified on the XDI TC call this morning that some of the cardinalities
may be wrong in [1], but the basic metamodel pattern holds.

I'd be fascinated to get your feedback on this analysis, and also see what
the v4 metaschema looks like in RelaxNG.

Best,

Subject: [xdi] Beating the RDF drum

This is a pretty good article describing the RDF technologies to an
XML-focused audience. 

http://www.betaversion.org/~stefano/linotype/news/57/

Feel free to ask me questions about RDF (off list unless they are generally
relevant), as I think understanding RDF, even if its not used, is pretty
important for discussing XDI architecture.
