Aaron Swartz has
published a draft memo
describing the media type for the XML encoding of RDF.
Taking Dan Connolly's initial
draft as a starting point, Swartz's draft attempts to push forward on the registration of the
media type. The draft proposes a type of application/rdf+xml
,
following the guidelines from RFC 3023, "XML Media
Types."
The need for the registration of this type is pressing: the Mozilla browser
currently implements a stop-gap solution of text/rdf
, and
specifications such as PRISM, which reuse RDF, are
affected by this issue.
Feedback should be sent to the www-rdf-interest
mailing list.
