No One That I Know
Lee rightly asks Who loves RDF/XML? to which I reply, "No one that I know."
Is RDF/XML the core of the semantic web? I think it's easy to argue that the W3C thinks of RDF as the core of the semantic web. The web is made up of documents. Those documents are serializations (representations) or resources. The W3C's Recommended way of serializing RDF is RDF/XML. Therefore, if RDF is the core of the semantic web and it has to be shuffled around the internets, I think it's also say to assume that the Recommended way to do that is RDF/XML.
