Practical RDF Shelley Powers
Publisher: O'Reilly Media

Personally I see nothing in the statement from Francis Maude that implies the mandating of RDF or Linked Data, only that “Where possible we will use recognised open standards including Linked Data standards”. SPARQL: RDF data access for Web 2.0. I see RDF/XML as an "end format", it makes little sense to transform that (same goes for stuff like SVG I guess). « flickr, from beta The approach seems eminently practical, with software packages in many languages and good examples of client-side AJAX processing of SPARQL query results. The arguments presented are for both the engineer working with small organizations encumbered by reality, and the RDF purist encumbered by a vision. For special (throwaway) cases with deterministic serialization though, it may be practical.
