The same example, but in the abbreviated syntax (could be added to the header of an HTML page!):

  <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
           xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.0/">
    <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://doc"
      dc:creator="Joe Smith"
      dc:title="My document"
      dc:description="Joe's ramblings about his summer vacation."
      dc:date="1999-09-10"
    />
  </rdf:RDF>
