From the W3C? web site, http://www.w3c.org/RDF/: "The Resource Description Framework (RDF) integrates a variety of web-based metadata activities including sitemaps, content ratings, stream channel definitions, search engine data collection (web crawling), digital library collections, and distributed authoring, using XML as an interchange syntax. The RDF specifications provide a lightweight ontology system to support the exchange of knowledge on the Web."

RDF was used by Netscape and others to define the RSS (RichSiteSummary) format, used for headline syndication (e.g. TWikiSyndication).

Looks like we could experiment with this and create a ResourceDescriptionFrameworkPlugin? ?
