The purpose making the key index format RDF-based is that you can
associate arbitrary metadata with keys, such as Title, Author, References,
etc.. There exist programs and libraries that will sort, categorize,
filter, etc. entities for you based on these fields. You can actually
enter such metadata right now! (at least in the CVS version).

Just do this:
java Freenet.client.KeyIndexClient -insert snarfoo -key blah -prompt yes

You will be prompted to fill in some standard metadata fields. This
information will go into the key entry along with the key and be stored in
the key index.

All that's lacking now is some code which actually uses this metadata to
do something, such as categorization or searching. I'd be happy to talk to
anyone that would like to use such capabilities in their software, maybe
one of the client writers or the Freegle guy.
