Hi Howard,
- W3C also have a working group on Compound Documents (e.g. HTML+SVG
+SMIL etc), which may have something useful: http://www.w3.org/2004/CDF/
- For grid datasets, you may find this useful for starters: http://
www.edikt.org/binx/
- Interesting to see you're following the recent trend away from
folders towards using resource groups (playlists) and smart groups
(queries). We're going to see more of this.
- If you're just exporting aggregations as a bunch of uri's-with-
metadata then Atom/RSS would be an obvious choice of format, as would
RDF, if thats not too heretical a thought :-)
