Hi all,

For those who may be interested, there has been some discussion amongst
those involved with the CellML API recently about a proposed addition of
an CellML API side RDF parsing service; this would, for example, allow
us to remove our dependency on patching Mozilla, allowing us to build
PCEnv from an unmodified build of the Mozilla framework. The discussion
has moved over to tracker item 358
( https://tracker.physiomeproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358 )

Other reasons for such an addition have been for use in any future
metadata service, the increasing use of rdf, and for use in annotating
systems of equations.

Reasons against such an addition have included the availability of
preexisting libraries, the possibility of scope creep, the possibility
of introducing changes or dependencies in the existing CellML API, the
broadness of the current proposal, and a possible conceptual uncleanness
or incorrectness.

I would appreciate any feedback, comments about, or refinements of this;
however, unless the discussion is still raging, we want to come to at
least an intermediate conclusion by Friday the 9th of May.

Best Regards,
Justin Marsh
