I'm not sure what the advantage of RDF is here, in comparison with using an ordinary .xml file (changing rdf:about to a namespace declaration somewhere and providing a DTD or XML Schema to specify an apt:Airport). An airport is a resource, so you might want a description of a bunch of them, but I'm having trouble finding a context in which this is metadata, not data. Is is just that this is reference data perhaps useful to many xml-based apps, such as weather reporting, flight schedules, a java applet that shows the progress of a flight and its endpoints? If so, would a table of cities and zipcodes be similarly metadata?
