And also make it platform-portable, I think.
We could use platform native source (or let someone else write them
and focus on one first).

Yeah!
So, but I don't know how to start.  I gathered this got designed
well but rather hacked up quickly? Guillaume said he was not satisfied
by the code, I believe.  
So, I was wondering, can somebody document things about the design/
architecture on the Wiki.  Add something about the current state, things
that need work (conceptual-, onthology- or implentation wise) and
how to test and work with it.  For most, RDF is a "new" area.
Secondly, would it be good to get other Desktop media onthology
people involved and make this more worldly?
