- Description
- The XML Signature working group focuses on the canonicalisation of XML, and the syntax used to sign an XML document. This process focuses on the semantics intro-duced by the XML language itself, but ignores semantics which a particular applica-tion of XML may add. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a language for representing information about resources on the Web. RDF has a number of possi-ble serialisations, including an XML serialisation (RDF/XML), popularly used as the format for exchanging RDF data. In general, the order of statements in RDF is not important, and thus the order in which XML tags occur in RDF/XML can vary greatly whilst still preserving semantics. This paper examines some of the issues surround-ing the canonicalisation of RDF/XML and the signing of it, discussing nesting, node identifiers and the ordering of nodes. Existing RDF serialisation formats are consid-ered as case studies of partially canonical RDF formats.
