This W3C Note defines an RDF schema for the XML Infoset.
</p>

<div id="statusid">

<h2><a name="status"></a>Status of this document</h2>

<p>This is a W3C Note produced by the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/XML/Activity#core-wg">XML Core Working Group</a>
to supplement the XML Infoset specification.  It is not a normative
part of that specification.
</p>

<p>
This document is a work in progress representing the current
consensus of the XML Core Working Group.  Publication as a Note does
not imply endorsement by the W3C membership.
</p>

<p>
Comments on and corrections to this Note and the RDF schema itself
may be sent to the public mailing list
<a href="mailto:www-xml-infoset-comments@w3.org">

<h2><a name="over">1. Overview</a></h2>

<p>
The XML Infoset specification <a href="#infoset-ref">[1]</a> defines a
number of Information Items and their properties.  The referenced RDF
schema <a href="#rdf-schema-ref">[2]</a> is a formal description of the
Infoset.  We hope that it will be useful as an aid to understanding
the Infoset and, perhaps, for validating infosets serialized as RDF
instances.
</p>

<p>
It should be emphasized that this RDF schema is not normative.  It is
not the only RDF schema that could be constructed for the Infoset, and
non-RDF serializations of the Infoset may also be useful.
</p>

<p>
There is a comment near the top of the schema specifying the
version of the XML Infoset specification that it corresponds to.
If errors are found in the schema it will be corrected without
changing its namespace name.  If the schema is changed to correspond
to a new version of the Infoset, the namespace name will be changed.
</p>
