However, by generalizing the concept of a "Web resource", RDF can also be used to represent information about things that can be identified on the Web, even when they can't be directly retrieved on the Web.
RDF provides a common framework for expressing this information so it can be exchanged between applications without loss of meaning.

 What is RDF? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
RDF is a general framework for describing a Web site's metadata, or the information about the information on the site.
RDF details information such as a site's sitemap, the dates of when updates were made, keywords that search engines look for and the Web page's intellectual property rights.

 Resource Description Framework - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The RDF metadata model is based upon the idea of making statements about resources in the form of subject-predicate-object expressions, called triples in RDF terminology.
The subject denotes the resource, and the predicate denotes traits or aspects of the resource and expresses a relationship between the subject and the object.
The purpose of RDF is to provide an encoding and interpretation mechanism so that resources can be described in a way that particular software can understand it; in other words, so that software can access and use data that it otherwise couldn't.

RDF is intended for situations in which this information needs to be processed by applications, rather than being only displayed to people.
The RDF Issue Tracking document [RDFISSUE] can be consulted for a list of issues raised concerning the previous RDF specifications, and their resolution in the current specifications.
This is true not only for situations like this one, in which one organization is rating or commenting on a resource defined by another, but also for situations in which the original definer of a resource (or anyone else) wishes to amplify the description of that resource by providing additional information about it.

I've been working with FOAF recently, which is an RDF schema (format) for representing personal information and connections between people and appear to have found a wrinkle in the standard.
