If I use RDF to transfer information over a crossover Ethernet cable on Mars, is that information "on the Internet"? How about: The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a language for representing information. That's not really true, though. It's not a language, it's a format, but really a framework. And it doesn't really represent information, it encodes it. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is framework for describing resources. Much better! -- Aaron Swartz [http://www.aaronsw.com] "Curb your consumption," he said.
