Should SDshare be RDF-only? #12

Closed larsga closed 12 years ago

larsga commented 12 years ago

One thing is support for Topic Maps, but should there be support for arbitrary XML? I'm thinking of more traditional web service-style XML. I can't really think of any reason why the protocol couldn't support it.

gra-moore commented 12 years ago

If the protocol talks about arbitrary xml then we have a couple of issues.

1) the fragment generation and fragment update algorithems are very generic and possibly worthless.

2) people can claim to implement sd-share and be totally incompatible with all other supporters.

Thus for now I would like to keep it to RDF.

1) Yes. I'm not sure that's a problem.

2) True. I'm not sure that's a problem, either.

Only keep it to RDF: OK by me, but let's discuss briefly.

larsga commented 12 years ago

We tell you one RDF interpretation. We don't disallow other formats, but we don't say how to interpret them, either.

Yep done. closing now.
