 * Semantic Web funtamentals**

Rob McCool argues the commonly available Semantic Web formats (specifically RDF, RDF Schema, and Web Ontology Language (OWL)) are too complex, and thus > The semantic Web has failed to produce communities, quantity, or quality. Very little public information is presently available in the resource description format (RDF) or Web Ontology Language (OWL) data formats, and semantic Web services are few and far between. (2006, Abstract)

e.g. vCard, FOAF, Dublin Core, RSS vCard, FOAF are 'person' ontologies. Dublin Core, RSS are document/web publication ontologies
