Can I get the file that contains the RDF/XML for an address on the World 
Wide Web.

You make a remark about broad use, and I simply wanted to take a look at 
the ontology, not read a PDF.

Instant gratification of a LINK is one of the killer features of the Web.

Sorry, if I in advertenly implied the content of the file should be in 
RDF/XML format. Just give me an address to something that has the 
ontology in any of  RDF model oriented representations.

Great!

Loaded, and now I can explore as per this URL:

That's all I wanted to do re. my PDF gripe :-)
