Mani,

The benefit you get is that people who embed your slideshows on their
pages will then also embed the metadata, so their pages will get indexed
by SearchMonkey correctly, too, and any browser-based extensions that
pick up this metadata will benefit.

I expect that a *lot* of useful RDFa will be produced in exactly this
manner (this is exactly what Creative Commons does, too.)
