Heads up! There is an issue filed against HTML+RDFa with the HTML WG on the use of CURIEs within RDFa. Ian Hickson has written a change proposal for HTML+RDFa: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2011Jan/att-0022/cp-120.html This proposal, if adopted, would make the @profile and @prefix attributes non-conforming in HTML+RDFa, and require user agents to ignore them. It would also require user agents to ignore @xmlns:* attributes. In summary, there would be no mechanism for authors to define prefix mappings. In my capacity as invited expert to the HTML WG, I've submitted a counter-proposal: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/RDFaPrefixesNoChange This proposes that no technical changes be made to HTML+RDFa, but editorial changes be made to promote the use of full URIs in RDFa, and make it clearer that CURIEs are simply an abbreviation for the full URIs. The proposal also suggests that the HTML+RDFa editor (Manu) work with the RDFa Working Group to make sure examples with full URIs are similarly featured more prominently in XHTML+RDFa and RDFa Core. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
