ATML and RDF



Title: Message
Team,
 
I have recently recieved the following email from Pavan Bathla following a NI ATML presentation. At present I have no view or comment and offer the email up for discussion within the group. I'm not aware of the perentation given by National Instruments, so unable to comment on its content.
Hello Chris,

I was recently reviewing one of the National Instruments week presentations on ATML, got into a discussion with NI developers from whom I got your contact info and was curious to find out more about an issue (maybe?) with XML.  I was told that indexing data stored in XML format is slow for large files and that the WWW web consortium has developed a RDF format that addresses this problem.


Unfortunately I'm not an expert in this area and all I could come up with is an article on Google's search contrasting XML and RDF,
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/01/24/rdf.html?page=1 and http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/08/30/instantrdf/ I was wondering if the ATML.org consortium thinks this a weak spot of XML and whether RDF is a viable solution?

My organization is going though a Test Standardization effort and Test Data Management is one of our concerns.  We want to make sure that our data is accessible by commercial software packages and is in a industry approved format.

Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.


Best Regards,

Pavan
