My recent look at microformats has lead me to think more about the levels of grey between being able to fully interpret (understand) data, and not being able to interpret it at all. Microformats are currently very binary in this regard - either the software knows the microformat and is able to interpret it, or […]

Have spent some spare time looking at microformats recently (and more importantly, writing a microformats parser).
The main thing that troubles me is that microformats have no explicit way of conveying the structure of the data. This scuppers the idea of a general microformats importer (which I would obviously like for JAM*VAT, amongst other things).
There are […]

(BTW, the motivation for moving was generated by Lion’s tagtriples page […]

What indexing are you using? My tagtriples store schema is basically a table with 4 ids which joins to an (ID,String) table. When it used to be an RDF store this held both literals and URIs.
I found the key to getting […]

Two ways to enable the disambiguation of data:
ensure that each identifier is namespaced so that it can’t collide with any other
or
allow identifier names to collide, but also capture context to enable the consumer to disambiguate
RDF relies on the former approach, English the latter.
N.B. An advantage of the latter approach is that it allows the […]
