All, (01)
I think we continue to miss a fundamental issue that is the root of so
much confusion. Personally, I believe positioning RDF as both a data
model and a collection of syntaxes is the root of the problem. (02)
A very simple question. How is RDF (the model) different from the long
established Entity-Attribute-Value model? What does it bring to the
table that differentiates it? (03)
I have some answers to the above, but I would like to see if responses
to what's posed above (from others) could lead to clarity that's
desperately needed re. RDF. (04)
