Facts: XSPARQL (W3C member submissions)

["Giovanni Bartolomeo" <giovanni.bartolomeo@uniroma2.it>]

Please find here a short presentation of XSPARQL, a new W3C member  
submission intended to fill the gap between RDF and its XML  
representation.

http://xsparql.deri.org/sites/xsparql/files/XSPARQLin5slides.pdf

This effort is interesting, because, even using a different technology  
(i.e. RDF+XML) than XRI+XDI they have understood the reason why the  
semantic web has not yet turned in what they call the "web of data"  
(our dataweb):

There is not yet a simple and developer-friendly tool allowing to pass  
from a semantic model to its syntactic representation and viceversa.

In this scenario, XDI could be THE breakthrough, provided it will be  
natively both a syntactic markup and a semantically aware language.

Kind Regards,
Giovanni
