RDF (Resource Description Format) is a foundation for processing metadata and for interoperability. With it, you can describe content and content relationships, rate content, define the structure of a website, and much, much more. All this in a machine readable format. More information about RDF:

Scope

To develop an extensible framework for the production of RDF data from Zope objects.

Status
