RE: [syndication] Digest Number 147

["Paulo Gaspar" <Paulo.Gaspar@krankikom.de>]

People that deal with Web sites do not necessarily have a clue
on the Dublin Core even while being quite aware of what RSS is.

I personaly know a lot of people that are familiar with RSS and
do not have a clue on the Dublin Core.

I only knew what it is after reading the RDF specs.

I am sorry, but it looks like you have a wrong perception on 
what is the background of the rest of the world. I only hope
this note helps fixing that.


Have fun,
Paulo Gaspar
