splitting the Atom with N3
Atom N3 is an ontology that closely maps the Atom feed format to N3. It clearly reveals the logical structure of the atom feed format, and is what is needed to make atom:
- easily and clearly extensible
- available to SPARQL queries
- easily mappable to java objects through frameworks such as So(m)mer
With the xslt 2.0 stylesheet I developed I will be able to use atom-n3 to load feeds into an rdf database and map that information to java objects in one go. This will help me implement the Atom Publishing Protocol for BlogEd. The nice thing is that the stylesheet should be useable by people using any other programming language, so others who may need the transform could help improove it too.
This is continuation of the work I started in 2004, that was much improoved by some serious thinking last autumn with Reto in Bern and Danny Ayers and Reto in Tuscany. So there has been quite a lot of thinking put into this over time, and I am quite confident that we are coming close to a 0.9 release. I will certainly be using it. It is open source and released under a BSD licence, so please feel free to contribute bug reports/fixes code and ideas!
We are going to release a lot of stored up energy here :-)

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
