How Microformats relate to semantic web: http://www.metah.ch/blog/2007/10/31/how-microformats-relate-to-the-semantic-web/

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)
