Why do you say RDF is not a hypermedia format? For one thing, RDF is composed almost entirely of URIs, i.e., links. How much more link-ful can you get? For another, *any* structured document format can be viewed as a serialization of RDF, because RDF is syntax independent. Certainly RDFa provides a convenient way to view HTML as RDF. Can you please explain what you mean by saying that RDF is not a hypermedia format? Then what *is* a hypermedia format? -- David Booth, Ph.D. http://dbooth.org/ Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of his employer.
