RDF is just W3C buzz word for directed labelled graphs. Objects naturally form directed (labelled) graphs. Hence it seems natural to use the normalized query and representation (N3 and XML) of RDF to represent OO data structures. > > very useful, but I would still like to come up with a Data API that > would provide a canonical format for data that could be consumed by a > reporting system we came up with. Maybe that's too much to do with I totally agree with you. RDF is just a way to store and query data but everything is wrapped into an API for use by plugins and reporters. That's why I think the xradar solution is a pis-aller as we say in french. > limited resources but that's the idea I had.

I am ready to try discussing with xradar team and maybe come up with a midway satisfying solution.
