Why the subject and not e.g. the object? What you suggest is a very limited approach to navigation for triples. I can imagine a wide variety of different ways to locate and edit a triple, e.g.: - at the object - at a page describing the property - at a page describing the class of the subject - at a page describing the class of the subject - at domain specific editors that allow to perform more complex metadata operations (RDF is just like assembler - why should I need to work directly with triples?) -- Sebastian | Dr. Sebastian Schaffert [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Salzburg Research Forschungsgesellschaft http://www.salzburgresearch.at | Knowledge Based Information Systems +43 662 2288 423 | Jakob-Haringer Strasse 5/II | A-5020 Salzburg PGP Key fingerprint = 13 1D 2E 4F 20 3E C9 1F 4C 57 52 87 8A 80 48 4D F5 E9 97 EC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
