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,
Dylan
