    The power of the ultimate mashup is the intelligence you'll build into it using semantic Web techniques, specifically the Web Ontology Language (OWL). But before you can tackle OWL, you want to be familiar with its base language, the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and RDF Schema Language (RDFs). This tutorial gives you a good background in both RDF and RDFs so you'll be ready to build ontologies for your Web services, and also able to make use of RDF's power with other projects as well.
