It feels like we are at the same stage as HTML in the mid-nineties when it was all written in notepad. I'm not even completely sure it makes sense to write RDF like this - perhaps it would be better to populate a triple store or possibly a RDBMS with tools to create RDF representations of the data. There are a couple of tools at http://esw.w3.org/topic/SemanticWebTools that mention authoring, but I haven't looked at either. We are currently discussing looking at XHTML+RDFa as part of the TELSTAR project that I'm working on - but I think here (as in many cases I guess) if we go this way we will be populating this from custom written code to create an RDFa representation from existing structured (but not in RDF) data.

I wondered if you had found any tools that help you to write RDF? Going further, I am interested in incorporating RDF in web documents, for which RDFa is presumably the appropriate technology. But again I can't find any tools to help write or create XHTML+RDFa. Do you know of any? Owen, this is very interesting. I wondered if you had found any tools that help you to write RDF?
