For example, the RDF Primer only uses this > serialization (though smartly uses N3 more than RDF/XML for > demonstration). You nailed the problem of RDF/XML. There is NO standard for a serialization to RDF/XML. One RDF graph might have multiple RDF/XML representations. If there would be a standard way of serialization, XML processing (e.g. XSLT) might easily work with RDF/XML. There is no normalization of RDF/XML, resolving the IRIs to a compact tree. > > So I think it will he helpful for your TC colleagues for our examples > to look similar to examples they would find in other documentation.

Newbies might have all most of the important URLs quickly at hand. Svante
