This web page is mostly what I'm talking about -

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Feeds

In January it had only the legacy format (one big RDF in the the now
superseded 2002 Dublin Core RDF standard), now it also has the new
format (many RDFs in the current Dublin Core RDF standard).  An
archive is compiled in the new and legacy format every day, and then
compressed by two methods resulting in four new files a day.

The files I mentioned are ones I noticed, but I can give other
examples as well.  I guess we will bring Marcello into the
conversation and discuss how to proceed.

Things are working for me right now, as long as the legacy format that
contains all of the information is still generated.  You probably want
to migrate the data the old RDF contains to the new format before
phasing the old format out.

There is no rush for time on my end as long as the legacy RDF is still
generated.  Everything is still working for me.  I thought that I
should just note the problem if people were unaware of it.  The shift
to the new format just happened in the past weeks, so small
complications like this are bound to arise when things like that are
done.

Thanks,
Dennis
