RDF is being designed as an infrastructure to support metadata across many web-based activities, with different application communities each defining the metadata property set that best serves their needs. RDF will provide a uniform and interoperable means for exchanging metadata between programs and across the Web. So far, RDF has defined XML (Extensible Markup Language) as the transfer syntax and work is beginning on schema definition. The overlap with GILS will be primarily in the RDF schema(s) and any subsequent work on services, especially search.
