This week's Web Development Zone e-newsletter describes how to manage data in Mozilla using Resource Description Framework (RDF). How much do you know about RDF? After reading this tip, do you think you'll plan on learning more about RDF?

I'm very much sold on Mozilla products, and not just because they're free. The features and use of standards in Mozilla Suite, Firefox, Thunderbird, et al. is way beyond anything else out there. Using any of these applications as a basis for a web-based solution makes a lot of sense.

Likewise, RDF is a standard that I've seen lots of references to and seems to have much potential. But I know very little about RDF or why it matters. I certainly would like to learn more about it.

The problem for me is that I have no where to start in approaching the use of these together. The article is quite clear and explanatory but how do I load an RDF document into a Browser in a web-based application scenario(simply load it like an http URL)? Are there any RDF syntax checkers around(one very easy way to learn a new coding language)?

I know there is one good book out there on creating web applications using Mozilla but a nice basic "Hello World" tutorial would go a long way to making this topic useful.
