> Hope all is well. Yah, finally got drools compiling against the latest Maven.
> Quick question - where's the package fr.dyade.jdring from? www.dyade.fr, somewhere, I'd guess. ;) It's a scheduler. And I think we're not using it anymore, since JDK 1.3 has a lightweight scheduler built in. Or, we may go to quarts (quarts.sf.net, I think). Though, jdring is the basis for some commercial scheduler out there. Anyhow, if we're using it, it's for the <duration/> marker. > I've finally got chance to started looking at drools+rdf, and it's come > about in quite a nice way, because it's driven by a real application need.

Okay, today I'll read the RDF specs so that I might understand this stuff. Is RDF related to RSS at all? I seem to see them together.
