Hi Greg,

Sounds a good idea.

Yep.

I had a quick skim for prior art around RDF because I vaguely remember
one or two people modelling IM/chat data in RDF (and things like blog
conversations - the ThreadsML stuff). But there's nothing much
immediately useful at SchemaWeb or the ESW Wiki, the usual starting
points for things like this.

But I did find Nabu:
[[
Nabu is a plugin for Jive Messenger, a server implementation of the
Jabber Instant Messaging protocol. It provides server-side logging of
chat conversations and related events. The logged data is stored in a
semantic graph, using the RDF W3C standard.
]]

There's an RDF Schema:

http://nabu.opendfki.de/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/file/trunk/ontology/nabu.rdfs?rev=126&format=raw

Which is a lot clearer if you paste the URI into RDFS Explorer:

http://xml.mfd-consult.dk/ws/2003/01/rdfs/

Some other related stuff:

Cheers,
Danny.
