This paper introduces "Wilbur", an RDF and DAML toolkit implemented in Common Lisp. Wilbur exposes the RDF data model as a frame-based representation system; an object-oriented view of frames is adopted, and RDF data is integrated with the host language by addressing issues of input/output, data structure compatibility, and error signaling. Through seamless integration we have achieved a programming system well suited for building "Semantic Web" applications.
