Hi Isabelle and Kate, I agree with you regarding the very detailed threads on RDF, and because those threads have lasted for quite along time I also didn't really participate in the list until recently. However, I think the list could potentially be more diverse in its questions and

Hi list, Just posted a article at http://blog.mobileink.com/ that may be of interest to members of the list. It's a fairly detailed formal definition of what I'm calling a Triad calculus (or logic or language) that I believe could be used to define RDF-like languages very concisely,
