And here is my attempt to explain why RDF hasn't been more successful: The syntax is hideously ugly and hard to understand, and the spec worries so hard about being correct and complete that it is pretty well 100% incomprehensible to ordinary people. I probably just hurt some feelings, but I've already shouted this in private enough times that it won't be a surprise. In my opinion RDF needs some serious sugar-coating and tutorializing if it is ever going to achieve its potential. I think its potential is huge, dwarfing that of XML. -Tim xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
