WOWG: RDF Document of interest

WOWGers -
  The RDF Core WG has released a document [1] that does a very nice 
job of explaining what RDF is, how it works, and some technical 
introduction not found in their other documents.
  Given our tight time schedule, I will not ask the WG to perform a 
formal review, but I invite you all to read the document and send 
your comments to their mailing list [2]

>that do not fall under the topics of formal semantics, XML 
>serialization syntax or RDF schema and vocabulary definitions (which 
>are each covered by a separate document in this series). These 
>include: discussion of design goals, meaning of RDF documents, key
