Just to explain it to everybody in detail:
RDF: Resource description framework
RSS: Resource description framework site summary
=> RSS is a 'subset' of RDF:
"While content rating was the application that originally motivated the
developoment of PICS and RDF, syndication and aggregation have emerged
as cost-effective applications of RDF.
RDF Site Summary (RSS) 1.0 lightweight multipurpose extensible
metadata description and syndication format. proposed Aug 2000 to the
RDF Interest Group"
(http://www.w3.org/RDF/)
In other words: RSS is an XML application, that conforms to W3's
specification of RDF, but is not RDF itself.
