The biggest problem I've seen above is that XML documents are just being made up without any schemas or relationships to other documents. The best thing about XML is the namespaces, because you can write <clothing:tie= /> and <rope:tie/> and know that the two are different contexts. (Even though nobody seems to do that, which is a real shame.) Unfortunately, there's no way to tell what way two different namespaces are related to each other, and this is where RDF comes in. RDF has an XML serialization format, but you can store RDF in any format you want. RDF's strength is its focus on relationships, and what you can infer from the ones given. Here's some RDF in subject, predicate, object triples: <urn:person:Sandra> -> name -> Sandra <urn:person:Sandra> -> gender -> female <urn:person:Sandra> -> sibling -> <urn:person:Kevin> <urn:person:Kevin> -> name -> Kevin <urn:person:Kevin> -> gender -> male <urn:person:Kevin> -> parent -> <urn:person:Sarah> <urn:person:Sarah> -> name -> Sarah <urn:person:Sarah> -> gender -> female With this data, you can easily infer that: Sandra has a brother. Sandra's mother's name is Sarah. Sarah has at least two children. And since everything can be given a namespace that maps back to the basic RDF types, you can easily pass this information in and out of other systems, and everybody will know what you are talking about. Specifically, serializing Ruby objects in XML is a waste if only Ruby can understand the generated XML. Nobody else can understand the relationships and easily use them into other systems. Using RDF, the relationships are easily parseable for use in other systems, making them interoperable without pain. =20 > I've had good results with the use of REXML for XML processing.

Yes, I agree everything I've done with REXML has been straightforward and simple. I'm just pointing out that throwing XML into the midst of things isn't going to necessarily give you any direct gains without a bit of thought. --=20 Eric Hodel - drbrain@segment7.net - http://segment7.net All messages signed with fingerprint: FEC2 57F1 D465 EB15 5D6E 7C11 332A 551C 796C 9F04
