Where Are The RDFs? 13
zignig asks: "Sites have been publishing RDF's for a while (how many slashboxes are there now?). However I'm interested in knowing what sites put out RDF information. Is there a page or repository for currently available RDF feeds? If this information doesn't exist, then how can one find if a site has an RDF feed? It would be a good, low band width solution for Web news."

The XML lingo you are looking for is RSS, which in the 0.9 format from Netscape was a form of RDF, then UserLand software decided to bastardise it into "Rich Site Summary", removing the RDFness. This is the most common format available now - RSS 0.91 (they've recently released 0.92). Luckily some very smart XML geeks saw this was a bad thing, and took RSS under their wings to create RSS 1.0, which *is* a form of RDF again.
But please, do not call RSS files "RDF". There are many forms that RDF can take. RDF is just a directed graph syntax in XML - its possibilities are endless and not limited to headline summaries. You are doing yourself an injustice by calling RSS "RDF", because I could not feed you my geneology graph in RDF format and expect you to be able to make headlines out of it.
You want RSS feeds, which you can find at http://www.xmltree.com/
Thank you and goodnight

No, Userland has a poor and bastardised example (and that was before the Nameless Slithering Horror that it 0.92)
RDF isn't RSS, and Userland's RSS doesn't have any RDF left in it at all.

The only time you'd see a not up to date backend would be if they're managing their site by HAND -- just modifying an HTML page. I don't think many sites do that. At least, I HOPE not.

Ever heard of SQL?
You can even do automagic timestamps on new entries, write yourself a little php admin frontend.
Setup a cron job to automagically rewrite your new.html and news.rdf pages, sucking the data
and generating the pages through any number of languages that have SQL support.
