In the general case maybe but for this I disagree. For highly specialised
development tools such as RDF there is really no need to be verbose about what
the name actually means because those who would be interested already know.
I took a look at the current state of affairs w/r to RDF:
nslater@bytesexual: ~ $ apt-cache search rdf | grep rdf
liblrdf0 - a library to manipulate RDF files describing LADSPA plugins
liblrdf0-dev - liblrdf0 development files
librdf-perl - Perl language bindings for the Redland RDF library
librdf-ruby - Ruby 1.8 language bindings for the Redland RDF library
librdf0 - Redland Resource Description Framework (RDF) library
librdf0-dev - Redland RDF library development libraries and headers
php5-librdf - PHP5 language bindings for the Redland RDF library
python-librdf - Python language bindings for the Redland RDF library
python-rdflib - RDF library containing an RDF triple store and RDF/XML parser/serializer
Only one of these packages is expanding the acronym RDF.
I really don't see the use case here.
