Interoperability and integration of heterogeneous sources II

- with dan, fix up the jobs rss module
or
- see what data is avilable from LTSN in events module
or
- mark up some semantic web events in events module

and

write something about rss and interoperability...and query


- worth talking about XMLquery and contrasting it?

title: "keeping it simple"

danbri suggests going with the jobs one and merging together
http://ilrt.org/discovery/2000/10/swsql/
and
http://ilrt.org/discovery/2000/11/rss-query/

the latter is a very straightforward thing about querying rss 1.0 invented
module about jobs.
(slight worry about RDN/jobs stuff, i.e. talking about this without
talking to them).

The former has a nice introduction to SQL and RDF and querying, and then 2
distinct sections: one about querying over the top of RDF apis, the other
about mapping relational databases to RDF using XSD.

These 2 parts are quite low-level and technical; the introduction is
high-level.

Similar thing that suggests itself is danc's stuff, which seems to do
similar things, but I don't understand it yet.

danbri suggests that implementability will be a concern of the audience.

searches show that noone is using rss for events or jobs... asking martin
about events feed on ltsn.
