Re: New Exif/RDF vocabulary

Dear KANZAKI,

We've just talked few moths ago about EXIF RDF. I appreciate a lot
this update and I'll read deeply soon. Another great thing I  hope is
that You used both XML and JSON for interoperability. Usually more
implementors uses XML xor JSON. This is a great example.

Cheers,

Simone
