RSS1.0 based image search

This is one of the very first and immediate to understand applications of RSS1.0, using the RDF part of it. Matt Biddulph uses RSS1.0 as a syndication format for collections of pictures together with FOAF to express who is on the pictures. He is also using WordNet vocabulary to say more interesting things like what a picture depictes. Then he also built some very nice and immediate search appication to search using WordNet terms, see paths between people or just generate simple XHTML pages telling in general terms what is a picture about. Very very effective application.

See recent email message of Matt to www-rdf-rules RDF query mailing list for a full bunch of links to his blog explaining how the thing has actually been done.
