So what RDF can I start using on my sites right now, and what can I >do with it? I'm eager to add metadata, please tell me how. Well, the issue is not really HOW to add metadata, but how to add metadata that a lot of other people have agreed on how to read. I would use KIF, myself, given my druthers, but very few other people will, so it wouldnt do me a lot of good. The problems are largely social/political/commercial rather than anything to do with inventing new kinds of logic or re-doing old philosophy. My point is only that there are off-the-shelf solutions to some of these technical problems available if people are willing to go and look on the shelves. But as we have seen, lots of people apparently aren't. Unfortunately I have no solutions to offer for how to make the world work properly.
