OASIS has been using RDDL 2.0 for namespace documents [4]. W3C has been using RDDL 1.0 for namespace documents [5]. WADL also has a RDDL 1.0 namespace document. [5] [4] and [5] are bookmarks of these examples. [4] http://del.icio.us/mitrepauld/xmlns+rddl+2.0 [5] http://del.icio.us/mitrepauld/xmlns+rddl+1.0 I had proposed [6] using RDDL as a UDDI "taxonomy document" where the overviewURL of a UDDI tModel points to a RDDL document, which can then point to various artifacts associated with the taxonomy. For example, if there is an OWL representation of the taxonomy, the RDDL document could point to it with an appropriate rddl:nature, or use a different rddl:nature to point to a different representation (e.g., one that can be imported into a Systinet UDDI registry). My hope was that tools that deal with taxonomies could discover taxonomies registered in UDDI, then retrieve the RDDL, then retrieve the representation that the tool could import to work with the taxonomy locally. I have been frustrated with the slow response time of some UDDI deployments that have round trips to the server every time I drill down a level of a taxonomy. Having a local copy of all or part of a taxonomy would hopefully provide better response time and improve the usability of the taxonomy. You probably won't find this idea for RDDL "being used in the wild" currently.
