Hi Kevin,
The use of embedded RDF in HTML documents (which includes SKOS) is still
very much a matter of flux and debate, and tends to overlap with
concepts such as microformats.
I believe that the closest that exists to a standard is the RDF/a draft
which you can find at http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/.
The syntax provided there doesn't quite match what you have used. I
believe the RDFa-compliant markup is something like:
<ol class="menu" typeof="skos:Concept"
about="http://ukwildlife.co.uk/concepts#wildlife"
rel="skos:narrower">
<li typeof="skos:Concept"
about="http://ukwildlife.co.uk/concepts#mammals">
<a href="/galleries/mammals/" property="skos:prefLabel">Mammals</a>
</li>
<li typeof="skos:Concept"
about="http://ukwildlife.co.uk/concepts#birds">
<a href="/galleries/birds-ornithology/"
property="skos:prefLabel">Birds</a>
<span rel="skos:related"

</li>
<li typeof="skos:Concept"
about="http://ukwildlife.co.uk/concepts#odonata">
<a href="/galleries/odonata-dragonflies-damselflies/"
rel="skos:prefLabel">Odonata</a>
<span rel="skos:related"

<span rel="skos:related"

</li>

<li typeof="skos:Concept"

<a href="/galleries/amphibians-frogs-toads-newts/"
property="skos:prefLabel">Amphibians</a>
<span rel="skos:related"

<span rel="skos:related"
resource="http://ukwildlife.co.uk/concepts#toads">Toads</span>
<span rel="skos:related"
resource="http://ukwildlife.co.uk/concepts#newts">Newts</span>
</li>
</ol>
I've tweaked this a little to make it explicit that each <li> item is
classed as being <skos:narrower> of the #wildlife parent. This seems
like what you would want, but I'm not sure.
Cheers,

I have tried to search for marking up SKOS within HTML but haven't found a reliable resource yet. Many of the examples are XML based. If you are able to point me towards some SKOS in HTML examples and/or tutorials this would be fab.
