The concepts in this series fits with the ideas of the Semantic Web. By using RDF/XML, your XML data gains several automatic advantages:

  • Data model is explicit

  • Avoids limitations in the database design

  • Resultant "triples" can be easily merged

  • Your data can be shared in the Semantic Web


Another question that comes up when you think of the problem this way: Is the "hub" (or database) really necessary if you have all the distributed information accessible?


These kinds of projects are the perfect places to explore Semantic Web technologies.


Cheers,
