It is definitely something to watch.  The problem with Google's
announcement as it stands now is that it uses a proprietary
vocabulary  (rooted at http://rdf.data-vocabulary.org/) that doesn't
include ORE terms (or terms resembling ORE terms).  There are calls
out to Google to embrace RDF/RDFa in a more inclusive sense by using
other vocabularies (most notably at http://iandavis.com/blog/2009/05/googles-rdfa-a-damp-squib
by Ian Davis).

It is promising that Google is looking to RDFa for semantic data about
web page content, and it would be even cooler if they were able to
parse the ORE vocabulary to learn about aggregations.  Time will tell,
though, if they can figure out how to do it, though...
