Re: New extension

Hi! RDF = Resource Description Framework. You can find some info about it in http://www.w3.org/RDF/. I think this extension is a very good improvement, and I hope it will not happen like when I proposed the Isis extension. Sometimes anybody shows interest or curiosity. Therefore Brad made a very good question. Some guys think that the Semantic Web (a concept that goes with RDF - http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/) is the future web.
