“Raw data now!”
I can haz RDF
I’d like this resource
                 about Lions as RDF/XML
                           please



                          RDF/XML you say? But
                               of course




Content negotiation
[or add .rdf to the end of the URL
e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/species/Tiger.rdf]
Going live tomorrow... but sneak peak today.

Note: we haven’t published adaptations RDF yet

oh and we also have a little microformating
