RDF has been up and down over the past couple of years, but the use of RDF does make it much easier to represent complex information in RSS, even if it is slightly harder to represent simple information. RDF seems to be gaining some momentum, but it's starting more like a very long freight-train, taking up the slack in one car after another, than like the rocket that XML itself was. For another RDF-based news syndication format (and one that overlaps a bit with RSS), see http://www.idealliance.org/prism/ For yet another (more RSS 0.91-like), see http://www.xmlnews.org/docs/xmlnews-meta.html It will be interesting to see if RDF can live up to its promise and allow tools to provide higher interoperability among these specs than the low-level, elements-and-attributes-and-data view we get with general XML tools.
