an image and provide an RDF representation for it), editing it *by
hand* would be silly.
Is a good idea to use some a XML database to store the content? I guess we
are taking about an application outside the cvs, right? If this is correct
a good candidate can be Xindice: http://xml.apache.org/xindice/ :)
no, too weak as a contract.
[believe me I searched for the perfect repository years. JSR 170 is what we need, nothing more nothing less]
note: the repository implementation might use xindice internally, like a store, but there is a loooong way to go there.
for now, the best option, IMO, is to stick to simple webdav.
