Hi Linde, There is some work on GRDDLing atom. One of them is here
https://sommer.dev.java.net/atom/ David Powell is working on an XSLT1 transform for another ontology.The atom group as a whole tends not to be very interested in these discussions, as they open up a painful history of years of debate that started with very early versions of RSS, and a good deal of confusion and misunderstanding all over.
RDF is very powerful. So it is better to spend time working on solutions that reveal that aspect of things. All the rest is GRDDLable.

I don't understand what you mean by standardizing RDF with Atom. If someone is interested in using RDF inside Atom can't they just do so already? Or do you mean mapping the Atom model to the RDF data model?Looking at the GRRDL Primer specification it looks like it's a transformation mechanism of a source document to a RDF representation. Is there any showstopper from the RDF community to already create such specification for consuming Atom documents?More fundamentally my *personal* issue here is that RDF has chosen a top-down approach by saying "We needed a mechanism to enable meaningful consuming of heterogeneous resources" so they defined RDF and gradually offered simpler mechanisms to allow the profane to join the RDF world (like GRRDL Primer). Atom on the other hand has followed a bottom-up path and been about "Let's have the lowest entry barrier we can and gradually add more complex mechanisms if they are needed". But because the base format is well defined you can make an Atom document already meaningful on its own.
