Ramanathan V. Guha (born 1965)[citation needed] is the creator of widely used web standards such as RSS, RDF and Schema.org.

[1][8] Guha was one of the early co-leaders of the Cyc Project where he worked from 1987 through 1994 at Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation in collaboration with Douglas Lenat.

[4] Leaving what became Cycorp, Guha founded Q Technology, which created a database schema mapping tool called Babelfish.

In 1994, he moved to work at Apple Computer, reporting to Alan Kay, where he developed the Meta Content Framework (MCF) format.

In 1997 he joined Netscape where, in collaboration with Tim Bray, he created a new version of MCF that used the XML language and which became the main technical precursor to W3C's Resource Description Framework (RDF) standard.
