Confused Development

I develop software and I often get confused in the process. I usually find the answers after a while, but a month later I can't remember them. So from now on, I will write them down here.

RDF visualization on the Mac

Over in Todd Ditchendorf's Blog I just read a post about his approach to visualizing RDF on a Mac (actually, the approach will work anywhere). He discovered the problem that has troubled many a Semantic Web person, namely that processing rdf/xml with XSLT is not per se possibly. The RDF graph has to be expressed in a canonical form, first. Todd uses Redland to do that, then applies his xslt to produce SVG and finally uses the latest nightly build of WebKit to render it (cool - Safari will include native SVG support). Nice!
