The flexibility of the RDF syntax means that there are plenty of subsets of it which make eminent sense and are good readable XML. Here's a bit from one of the hundred-odd RDF sets which Reuters Health has been publishing daily for more than two years: <RDF:Description xmlns:RDF="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns ="http://www.reutershealth.com/namespaces/meta1#" RDF:about="20021115clin005.x ml"> <wire>Business</wire> <title>Recommended dosing of ziprasidone for Tourette's syndrome may be inad equate</title> <publicationTime>2002-11-15 16:19:00 -0400</publicationTime> <copyright>Copyright © 2002 Reuters Limited.
