Re: What is RDF Schema?

Peter,


In http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0149.html
you note,

Would the following revision to the paragraph quoted address your concern:

  "RDF's vocabulary description language, RDF Schema, is a 
   semantic extension([SX]) of RDF. It provides  mechanisms for describing groups
   of related resources and the relationships between these resources. 
   RDF Schema vocabulary descriptions are written in RDF using the terms 
   described in this document."

If not, could you suggest alternate text.

thanks,

Dan
