Re: Some questions
Hi Eve!  Actually, I've brought a similar issue up with RDF group members
on a few occasions.  I've asked for help understanding why I'd choose the
RDF syntax instead of inventing my own XML document type to represent the
desired metadata.

Maybe someone on this list can help me with that.
