A couple of questions: - If you embed a domain name in all your URIs, does your stored rdf data need to be mass-updated if/when the site changes domain names? Or does appropriate use of Qnames make this a non-issue? - The primer is long on "how" and short on "why", even in the example applications section. Are you advocating RDF primarily to allow third parties to do unspecified cool stuff with the data? Or for the internal implementation of the website? Or both? AFAICT the advantages lie with the former. Could you give an example of such a third-party app? I'm not really coming up with compelling use cases. thanks, PW -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's MAN SUPER LAVA-LAMP! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)
