Submission request to W3C (W3C Team Comment)
which is referred to as "the submission". We request the submission be known as the rdf-netapi submission.
This work is jointly authored by Hewlett-Packard and Ontopia and is submitted by Hewlett-Packard.
This document describes a simple network interface to remote RDF models. There are two sets of functionality: a basic access mechanism that provides query capability to a collection of RDF statements, and an update mechanism where, subject to security constraints (not discussed here), changes to the RDF model can be made. Simple network APIs encourage implementation because of the minimal burden on the implementer. This document also covers two implementations, one based on SOAP, one based directly on HTTP.
Should any changes be required to the document, we would expect future versions to be produced and resubmitted to W3C.
