Let me take this opportunity to tell you about "Shift" [1], which is  
a little desktop tool to generate RDFa automatically from desktop- 
based data sources (your addressbook to generate foaf, your calendar  
to generate ical, ...). It's still wobbly and unstable, and I have  
less time to work on it than I would like. However, it's there and  
you can test it, if you like. At the moment, it is Mac-only, but a  
KDE version is in the pipeline.

Cheers,
Knud
