Edd's latest XML-Deviant covers quite a few posts around the service space, notably some of mnot's recent material ( mentioned here the other day). One quote I missed, from Bill de hOra, intersects nicely with my own take on the stuff:

Really where RDF could have significant impact is not swapping out the XML stack, but in the business logic and mapping rules we're been busy embedding into in-systems programming languages for the last two decades - in that sense it aligns nicely with data-directed languages like Schematron, SQL, and from way back Prolog (before it got tarnished with the AI brush).

Hey ho. As Edd says While the vacation of all things XML continues, those eager RDF folks are still hard at work. Wish I could have gone camping.
