RDF - the Resource Description Framework - is a foundation for processing metadata; it provides interoperability between applications that exchange
machine-understandable information on the Web. RDF emphasizes facilities to enable automated processing of Web resources. RDF metadata can be
used in a variety of application areas; for example:
-
in resource discovery to provide better search engine capabilities
-
in cataloging for describing the
content and content relationships available at a particular Web site, page, or digital library
-
by intelligent software agents to facilitate knowledge
sharing and exchange
-
in content rating
-
in describing collections of pages that represent a single logical "document"
-
for describing intellectual property
rights of Web pages.
RDF with digital signatures will be key to building the "Web of Trust" for electronic commerce, collaboration,
and other applications.
