I'm sorry. That's not a concrete enough example
to satisfy me. You've got an RDF tool doing RDF
operations. That's a bit circular. What I want to
see is an RDF tool that lets me order tickets for
a concert, or close the books of the company at
the end of the month, or find the right album
cover to match a song in my MP3 player, or
something practical that I want to do
irrespective of whether it's done with RDF or XML
or something else. How can RDF make my job of
writing one of these applications (or some other
useful application of your choice) easier?
