I think yes, to the extent that the RDF specs do normatively define an XML-based serialization format for the RDF data model. Being close to the different facets of RDF, I tend to use the term RDF/XML to describe this format, but I think it's reasonable for a wider audience to expect the term RDF to presume its XML serialization. #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org>
