Abstract: It is difficult to serialize an RDF graph as a humanly readable RDF/XML document.

Each procedure corresponds to a grammar rule; the guard makes the choice about the applicability of the production. This approach is seen to correspond closely to the design of an LL(k) parser, and a theoretical justification of this correspondence is found in universal algebra. Notes:
