¡ Simplified XML Syntax for RDF
l Encodes RDF as machine parsable XML
l Verbose, not really readable by humans
¡ Note: counter to what one of XML’s primary

¡ RDF and XML are complementary:
l XML only gives structure (validating with a
DTD)
l RDF adds to XML the ability to encode simple
propositions
