RDF vs Microformat: http://www.semanticfocus.com/blog/entry/title/microformats-vs-rdf-how-microformats-relate-to-the-semantic-web/
What RDF allows (and Microformats lacks):
- Resources are represented as URIs, allowing you to access metadata remotely
- Infinitely extensible and open-ended design
- A powerful Ontology language (OWL) that is built upon it
- The ability to utilize, share, and extend any number of vocabularies
- No reliance on pre-defined "formats" (i.e. not limited by the types of data that can be encoded)
