This is a little raw, but given the recent
interest in the infoset and RDF in xml-dev
lately
https://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200008/msg00173.html
	->
https://www.openhealth.org/XSet/xml.xml
I think it's timely to release it now;
Share and Enjoy:
https://www.w3.org/XML/2000/04rdf-parse/content.xsl
It takes piece of XML content (i.e. stuff matching
the content production, like you might find
inside a parseType="literal" element in RDF)
and represents it in RDF, per the schema in
the infoset spec. I haven't integrated it
into the rest of
	https://www.w3.org/XML/2000/04rdf-parse/rdfp.xsl
but I plan to shortly.
This highlights some of the differences between
the infoset data model and the XPath data model,
since I'm using XPath to destructure the input.
I think it also clarifies some stuff about
how xml:lang fits into the RDF model, and
about how XML Schema datatypes (and
structured types, for that matter) fit
with RDF.
anyway... I have just one rough example of the
output now
https://www.w3.org/XML/2000/04rdf-parse/test-content.xml
which is the output of running content.xsl on
https://www.w3.org/XML/2000/04rdf-parse/ex2.rdf
Running it over the whole thing, that is, not
just the contents of a parseType="literal"
element.
I don't think I can post to xml-dev, but if
anybody wants to forward this there, please do.
Also... www-rdf-interest folks might notice
that the components in the XML Schema spec
form a "directed, labelled graph". I hope
to write an XSLT script that extracts that
graph in RDF. Bonus points to anybody who
beats me to it. A concern is that the
properties in the XML schema spec aren't
explicitly given URI names (though they
are implicitly given URI names, via anchors in the
actual HTML document).
