The semantic web is a general vision for supporting knowledge-based processing across the WWW and its successors. As such, semantic web technology has potential to support the exchange and processing of complex NLG data. This paper discusses one particular approach to data sharing and exchange that was developed for NLG - the RAGS framework. This was developed independently of the semantic web. RAGS was relatively complex and involved a number of idiosyncratic features. However, we present a rational reconstruction of RAGS in terms of semantic web concepts, which yields a relatively simple approach that can exploit semantic web technology directly. Given that RAGS was motivated by the concerns of the NLG community, it is perhaps remarkable that its aspirations seem to fit so well with semantic web technology.
