Introduction The Resource Description Framework (RDF) - developed by the World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) - provides the foundation for metadata interoperability across different resource description communities. One of the major obstacles facing the resource description community is the multiplicity of incompatible standards for metadata syntax and schema definition languages. This has lead to the lack of, and low deployment of, cross-discipline applications and services for the resource description communities. RDF provides a solution to these

An Internet resource is defined as any resource with a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). This includes the Uniform Resource Locators (URL) that identify entire Web sites as well as specific Web pages. As with today's HTML META tags, the RDF description statements, encased as part of an Extensible Markup Language (XML) section, could be included within a Web page (that is, a Hypertext Markup Language - HTML - file) or could be in separate files. RDF is now a formal W3C Recommendation, meaning that it is ready for general use. Currently, a second W3C

With more and more Metadata standards or schemas used in various projects, the need of encoding, searching, and exchanging different Metadata sets in one interface becomes much more important. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is being developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to provide an infrastructure for the interoperability of Metadata in a wide range of applications. Every Metadata must define the syntax, semantics, and structure of its elements for its applications. Using XML (eXtensible Markup Language) as its common syntax,

Identifiers: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) If I want to discuss something, I must first identify it. How else will you know what I'm referring to? I might do this in an indirect manner: "The North Star." "The strange man at the grocery store." "Those really sour candies that Bob always eats." I might also choose to be more direct: "Polaris." "Jonathan Roberts." "Mega Warheads." To identify items on the Web, we also use identifiers. Because we use a uniform system of identifiers, and because each item identified is considered a "resource," we
