[redland-dev] Raptor RDF Serialization

[Vinay Solanki]

Dear Dave,

 Like we have synopsis example in the documentation to use the Raptor
parsing features, can you provide me with an example code to use the RDF
serializer.

 So is it that for RDF Serialization we need to input the Triples from a
stored file on the machine or what ?

 Does Raptor support Containers such as Bag, Alt, Seq , elements like
rdf:li etc?

Thanks & Regards
