In case anyone missed it on PlanetRDF, the "What is RDF?" article on xml.com has been rewritten (by me) to present a modern view of what RDF is and where it can be used. (That's modern compared to 2001, when the article was last updated.) http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/01/24/rdf.html To entice you, I'll quote myself: :) The current web is a decentralized platform for distributed /presentations/, while the SemWeb is a decentralized platform for distributed /knowledge/. Resource Description Framework (RDF) is the W3C standard for encoding knowledge. I've also incorporated some of that material into the more wordy intro on rdfabout.com, so this too is updated: http://www.rdfabout.com/intro And, btw, I'm open to any contributions of content for rdfabout.com. I think it would be nice to collect introductions/tutorials/etc. about RDF's cousins in one place (RDFS, OWL, SPARQL, tag:, etc.). It's hard to blame the rest of the world for not embracing RDF if there's no main place to go to learn about it... -- - Joshua Tauberer http://razor.occams.info "Unfortunately, we're having this discussion.
