The RDF Harvester

• The RDF Harvester will provide an indirect way
  for end-users to provide information to the PRIDE
  demonstrator and aligns the PRIDE project closely
  with the current metadata work of the W3C. It
  will be based on current development of the
  Harvest suite of resource discovery tools.
