 Can you summarize that here for us so we can compare it to the understanding that it is simply an RDF service to other objects in the system? If it is this, then I think it is another service to business objects to quickly narrow the scope of a resource discovery process. IOW, there are many ways to assert If This And This Are This, Do This. So far, all I have to go on is that RDF will be easier and cheaper. That is good if so. On the other hand, logistically, it also should be more reliable or have some other qualities given that we have other means, code in place, and people trained. It can't save costs in the s short term so we can't move ahead unless we justify it in a broader view of the overall application framework. On quality might be that by using RDF, we have as with other XML languages, a more portable description which leads to greater interoperability of the inference services. If so, good.

It's not an official W3C document, and is written for non-specialists, but there's enough in Tim's "Weaving the Web" book to at least see an outline.
