(2003-08-10) Rdf For Web Services

Weird question Of The Day: should Web Services be passing around RDF instead of XML? Maybe not for the Echo Standards API which is mostly a big text item, but for Google and Amazon, and even moreso for enterprise InterOp which is typically structured non-text data coming from SQL...

Contrarily, Jon Udell argues that RDF doesn't seem to buy you much more than XML, esp in solving the core Semantic Web Symbol Grounding problem.
