The document discusses GRDDL ( Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages), which is an easy way to extract metadata from web pages in various formats like HTML and XML. It allows one to declare a web page or document as a source of data, link it to extractors that can glean semantic data from it, and then have GRDDL agents extract RDF descriptions from the document. This is done by adding GRDDL profiling and transformation links to declare the source and transformation that will be applied.
