Re: [office-metadata] RDF: What can we say?

Bruce,

Thanks!

A very good starting point.

Although I would pitch the advantages as far as the document and its 
content more than the broader Semantic Web vision. People who already 
know RDF have drunk the cool-aid on that issue and where I think we need 
to sell our proposal is to doc heads who really want more sophisticated 
metadata in documents.

Sort of a "What's in it for me?" sort of approach. Well, if you have the 
ODF metadata proposal you can....., sort of answer. Immediate payoff, 
gratification, etc.

I want people to really take advantage of the proposal for their own 
ends and if that fits into something bigger by and by, fine by me.

Hope you are having a great evening!

Patrick
