From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework, setting up a
rdf wiki is a non-trivial task, since the knowledge base has to be
well-defined and the type, property, template, and form namespaces need to be
powerful enough to express statements in that knowledge domain.
At least I agree with John LibrePlanet should look like freeculture.org, the
question is how to move it in that direction?
