[Refdb-users] the real world (prism example)

[Bruce D'A. <bd...@fa...>]

I was just looking at an interesting new RDF spec called PRISM that is  
designed by the publishing industry to allow stuff like RSS feeds for  
journal and magazine articles (a great idea!).  The schema seems  
well-designed, but there is this typical data problem that won't go  
away, and which means the need for algorithms and RegExp handling or  
tedious tuning of the metadata, sadly.  No endPage, no subtitle  
element, and names ... ugh.  I just sent them comments...

Example:

<item  
rdf:about="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6THR-48TMY6Y 
-5/1/94f6ab601fa5489db522037d805d2275">
