I would say that the is at the very least a degree of >overlap here :) RDF does describe resources - in an extremely general way. It doesn't provide any specific tools for connecting particular resources to documents, and has very little vocabulary. Similarly, XLink describes resources in a very general way, though it has a slightly different take on behavior. (And yes, it does feel like XLink and RDF have significant overlap.) XPDL is an application of these tools, not a reinvention. XPDL describes particular relationships between documents and resources and does so with its own vocabulary, one that I expect will be described with both an RDF schema and an XML DTD that takes advantage of XLink. It'll be some work getting there (and I'm really wondering what the next generation of XLink will look like), but that is very definitely the intent. At the same time, I'd like to keep it intelligible to mere mortals. We'll see how all of this goes.
