Yep ("Django, RDF & XUL" - what a title ;)
The key thing is to get a consistent/generic url for each object, and a
clean way to use rdf:resource to point at foreign keys, and things like
attachments.
I would also consider the RSS framework as maybe being the shortest path
to goal. If that can be extended to RSS1.0+ complete content dumping,
you get RDF for free, plus you stay within Django's existing programming
idioms.
I agree with David, this is a very interesting project. God, it's great
to be back on this list.
cheers
