That text (almost 9 years old) says:
"So what is RDF? RDF is distinctive in that it is designed specifically
with the Web in mind, so it takes account of the features of Web
resources. It is a syntax based on a data model, and this model
influences the way properties are described in that it makes the
structure of descriptions explicit. This means RDF has a good fit for
describing Web resources, but, on the downside, it might cause problems
within environments where there is a need to re-use or interoperate with
'legacy metadata' which may well contain logical inconsistencies. (An
extreme example might be the MARC format, ..."

Anyway, has anyone seen an XML schema or something that might
illuminate us as to how an ex-MARC record might look in RDF?
