Let me restate then: "RDF is floundering to achieve widespread adoption." And from everything I've read, I've come to believe that TimBL & the W3C have had visions for RDF to achieve the ubiquity of HTML on the web, hence the term "the semantic web" (please tell me if I misunderstood and that RDF was instead intended to be a niche solution for a very narrow segment of implementors.) AFAIK, no one has envisioned, at least in our lifetime, that everyone would soon buy themselves a jet engine for individual transportion. -Mike Schinkel http://www.mikeschinkel.com/blogs/ http://www.welldesignedurls.org/ P.S. BTW, I don't disbelieve in RDF and I don't want to work against it. But as the IRAQ study group just announced, "staying the course" has not worked thus far.
