    RDF enables communities to standardize vocabularies for metadata in specific domains. The Dublin Core is an RDF vocabulary designed for web page metadata. IMS builds on Dublin Core by adding elements for describing educational content. RDF has the potential to unify different metadata tags used across tools and make metadata a standard part of web pages, allowing search engines to return more focused results and agents to more easily find desired information. RDF describes resources with properties that have types and values, allowing complex descriptions of resources and their relationships.

    Chapter 2 An Introduction to XML Applications

    An RDF vocabulary defines a set of elements and their permitted content thats
    appropriate for meta-data in a given domain. RDF enables communities of interest to
    standardize their vocabularies and share those vocabularies with others who may
    extend them. For example, the Dublin Core is an RDF vocabulary specifically designed
    for meta-data about Web pages. Educoms Instructional Metadata System (IMS) builds
    on the Dublin Core by adding additional elements that are useful when describing
    school-related content like learning level, educational objectives, and price.
    Of course, although RDF can be used for print-publishing systems, video-store
    catalogs, automated software updates, and much more, its likely to be adopted
    first for embedding meta-data in Web pages. RDF has the potential to synchronize
    the current hodge-podge of <META> tags used for site maps, content rating,
    automated indexing, and digital libraries into a unified collection that all of these
    tools understand. Once RDF meta-data becomes a standard part of Web pages,
    search engines will be able to return more focused, useful results. Intelligent
    agents can more easily traverse the Web to find information you want or conduct
    business for you. The Web can go from its current state as an unordered sea of
    information to a structured, searchable, understandable store of data.
    As the name implies, RDF describes resources. A resource is anything that can be
    addressed with a URI. The description of a resource is composed of a number of
    properties. Each property has a type and a value. For example, <DC:Format>HTML
    </DC:Format> has the type DC:Format and the value HTML. Values may be text
    strings, numbers, dates, and so forth, or they may be other resources. These other
    resources can have their own descriptions in RDF. For example, the code in Listing
    2-11 uses the Dublin Core vocabulary to describe the Cafe con Leche Web site.
