"Bullard, Claude L (Len)" scripsit:

> How does one write a document in RDF friendly ways?

1) Use rdf:id instead of id, although id is accepted by the older RDF syntax.

2) Make sure there is a namespace name available for every element: RDF
can't currently cope with elements that have no namespace names.  (Having
no *prefix* is not a problem).

3) Eschew mixed content.

4) Don't wrap semanticless container elements around groups.

5) When you are describing something identified by a URI, put the URI
   in an rdf:about attribute.

6) When you are referencing something by URI, put the URI in an
   rdf:resource attribute in an empty element.

Consider the matter of Analytic Philosophy.  Dennett and Bennett are well-known.
Dennett rarely or never cites Bennett, so Bennett rarely or never cites Dennett.
There is also one Dummett.  By their works shall ye know them.  However, just as
no trinities have fourth persons (Zeppo Marx notwithstanding), Bummett is hardly
known by his works.  Indeed, Bummett does not exist.  It is part of the function
of this and other e-mail messages, therefore, to do what they can to create him.
