Hi,
A closer look at the MADS/RDF Documentation at
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mads/rdf/ showed
that the examples in the text are difficult to read and in most cases
broken (no valid RDF/XML). Could you please replace the example with
valid RDF/Turtle? Turtle is much better to read while RDF/XML is not
suitable for human contemplation. The examples seem to have been created
by hand, which is a Sisyphean task for RDF/XML.
I tried to fix the examples (with help of the great 'rapper' tool). I
also replaced the example-URIs with a 'http://example.org/' prefix,
because this is best practice for example URI/URLs.
Before the examples you should but a paragraph that shows the prefix
definitions, that I omitted from the examples below:
----
@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
@prefix madsrdf: <http://id.loc.gov/ontologies/mads/2010/11#> .
----
Moreover I'd recommend to write the documentation in clean HTML the W3C
recommendation style, as described at
http://www.w3.org/2001/06/manual/
Thanks!
Jakob
