Tom, I think it depends on the context, and "the" works for me in that case. Here's the opening line of the RDF primer: "The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a language for representing information about resources in the World Wide Web." The way it feels to me, "RDF" can stand alone but "Resource Description Framework" needs "the" -- because you wouldn't say "such as framework". And, no, I cannot cite any grammar rule to back this up. kc Quoting Tom Baker <tbaker@tbaker.de>: > Dear all, > > I have removed the "the" from the reference to RDF, which now reads: > > Linked Data is expressed using standards such as Resource > Description Framework (RDF)... > > ...not: "such as _the_ Resource Description Framework". > > Tom > > [1] > http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/index.php?title=Scope&diff=6438&oldid=6431 > > -- > Tom Baker <tom@tombaker.org> > > -- Karen Coyle kcoyle@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet
