-Cloud Computing is a paradigm in which information is permanently stored in servers on the Internet and cached temporarily on clients that include desktops, entertainment centers, tablet computers, notebooks, wall computers, handhelds, sensors, monitors, etc
-Cloud computing is a general concept that incorporates software as a service (SaaS), Web 2.0 and other recent, well-known technology trends, in which the common theme is reliance on the Internet for satisfying the computing needs of the users.

Where can I find authoritative Articles : KNOLS from Google

Knols are authoritative articles about specific topics, written by people who know about those subjects. Today, Google making Knol available to everyone.

The key principle behind Knol is authorship. Every knol will have an author (or group of authors) who put their name behind their content. It's their knol, their voice, their opinion. We expect that there will be multiple knols on the same subject, and we think that is good.

What is RDF?

RDF: Resource Description Framework...

It is a framework for metadata; it provides interoperability between applications that exchange machine-understandable information on the Web.

RDF is a method for expressing knowledge in a decentralized world and is the foundation of the Semantic Web, in which computer applications make use of distributed, structured information spread throughout the Web.

The file name extension should be ".rdf"

Simple RDF file looks like

Books

Books:Book1	dc:title	"Intro about .NET".
Books:Book1	retail:price	"35$".
Books:Book1	dc:author	".NET Guru1".
Books:Book2	dc:title	"Advanced .NET".
Books:Book2	retail:price	"55$".
Books:Book2	dc:author	".NET Guru2".

RDF is easy to write, flexible, and unconstraining. It makes it easy to model knowledge and to mesh distributed knowledge sources.
