Abstract
This paper proposes two MOF metamodels to support the representation and management of RDF and RDF Schema metadata. A metamodel is a set of related metadata used to build models. The MOF defines an abstract language and a framework to support the specification, implementation and ma-nagement of platform independent metamodels. RDF and RDF Schema are standards for the web, and are used for describing, reusing and interchanging metadata. This approach takes advantage of the flexibility of the W3C standards and of the interoperability of the OMG ones to support metadata management. The proposed metamodels may be used by any application that needs to re-resent RDF and RDF Schema metadata.
