[MOBY-dev] Re: [moby] Please sir, can I have some more RDF?

[José María Fernández González]

Hi everybody,
	I think Martin is right about a fixed and relatively unchanged way to 
obtain the RDF representation for each one of the registered services, 
objects and namespaces. If you are telling MOBY RDF structure is 
evolving, then RDF files published by any one of the service providers 
must be updated each time i changes. And also, there should be some 
well-known APIs (or procedures) to ease the automation of that process.

	Currently, the RDFs I have are from the Jurassic MOBY!

	Best Regards,
		José María
