+Structures
+----------
+
+Fenfire provides two intertwingled structures for applitudes:
+RDF (`Lassila and Swick 1999`_) 
+and Xanalogical referential fluid media (`Nelson 1999c`_).
+
+The RDF 
+schemas are kept small and orthogonal, and the implementations
+are also kept independent as well as possible.
+The intent (not quite yet realized) is to allow independently
+defined applitude programs to interact through having their
+metadata also in RDF.
