I find the usage of RDF for object method and property representation particularly intriguing. It can lead to the creation of an object model with replaceable implementations of web services and property accessors. I rambled a bit about this in http://www.egroups.com/message/decentralization/237. The key point there is that an object model defined in RDF is extensible, and also queryable. So Newer methods, or services can be added by web sites to user's existing objects..and metadata can be combined across applications. >It uses interfaces to other sources in order to > integrate all data in one enviroment, regardless of storage form. Caching stored metadata obtained from the multiple sources will be needed to have efficiency. Any thoughts on whether a generic RDF db like RDFDB or some sort of object database which captures the model at a coarser granularity than individual triples is favorable? Rahul
