RDF
,no edit summary
RDF is the ```'''Resource Development Description Framework```'''. It is a way of organizing multiple, different internet resources. It describes what they are (URL, mailbox, mail message, newsgroup, etc), and how they relate to each other. Also, one RDF can dynamically update another RDF over a network.
Essentially it is a universal format used for data on the Internet and allows structured and semi-structured data to be mixed, shared and exported across different applications RDF allows interoperability across applications so you can import things like your bank statement into your accounting software.

The folder is actually a pointer to a CGI script that contains more RDF. The RDF in there fetches all new messages, and summarizes them. It turns them into XML, and feeds it back to the original RDF "inbox" folder. The folder recieves that data, and its own RDF transforms it into a bunch of bookmarks under the initial inbox folder.
