Yes, the JSON record is essentially a dump from the database; the RDF record has to be constructed. There are pluses and minuses -- the JSON record is "complete" in a sense, but can't contain, for example, full URIs where the data stored is a relative path. It's up to users which format they prefer, depending on their needs. kc > _______________________________________________ > Ol-tech mailing list > Ol-tech@archive.org > http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to > ol-tech-unsubscr...@archive.org > -- Karen Coyle kco...@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list Ol-tech@archive.org http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to ol-tech-unsubscr...@archive.org
