Sorry! Here's the Tenant paragraph in 15 Apr Library Journal:

"While the Dublin Core specifies certain elements to describe an item, it
does not specify a transfer syntax or a MARC equivalent. For now, it
appears that the emerging Resource Description Framework (RDF), produced by
the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), will provide one of the best methods
for encoding this information in a machine-parsable form. RDF is itself
based on Extensible Markup Language (XML), which is an emerging
standard..." etc.
