Refactoring, step 3.5

Filed under: PlanetRDF — JBowtie @ 5:44 pm

OK, I know it’s been forever since I posted anything on RDF, but between my other writing, a new job, and the final desperate slog to permanent residence status in NZ, I’ve been busy.

One of the hardest decision in writing part 4 (still in draft) is sorting through the multitude of options for specifying RDF type information. There’s rdf:type, owl:Class, the whole rdfs namespace, and questions of implicit/explicit typing.

Now, I had an approach, but for people actually reading this series (are there any? I never see any comments, but maybe my comment filters are too aggressive), I want to make sure it’s a balance between the least effort and widest support. So I’m going back and trying a couple different approaches. One of them will make it out alive and into part 4.

Residence!

Finally, after some 2.5 years, we are permanent residents of New Zealand! This is a big day for us - since day 1 we knew we wanted to stay for the rest of our lives. That day has arrived.

Never again will I spend six hours in an Immigration queue; never again will we have to tell a potential creditor that we’re only on visas.

I love this country more and more each day, and can hardly wait for the day some years hence when we are sworn in as citizens.
