Hi Mark, Bent,

Sorry for the misunderstanding. The question is very interesting  and  
I mentionned something similar recently, in the thread about "title  
element, meta, h1 and rdfa"

It is interesting to come with an RDF schema for HTML. But not  
obvious, it depends on which point of view you have on the document.

* Meaningful view
   You could extract the meaning information for example from a  
blockquote with a cite attribute
    <#anaisnin> a <quote>;
	       h:text "… text of the quote…";
	       dc:source "http://example.org/blah";
                dc:language "fr" .
* Or you could extract a structural view of the document what are the  
p, the list structure, etc.
* Or a functional view, what are the links and references inside a  
document, the possible form values
* Maybe more

I wonder which one Bent is interested by.
