Thad, could you give the basic example rewritten in RDFa? That might help me understand the point you're trying to make (which I'm not certain is what I really am concerned with). If I have a subject heading like "Oregano" which describes a book or photograph and I have an identifier like http://id.loc.gov/authorities/sh96005072#concept for that subject heading, is there a simple way in microdata to say that when I use the term "Oregano" as the value of an @itemprop that I mean http://id.loc.gov/authorities/sh96005072#concept (or info:lc/authorities/sh96005072)? I was just trying to use the recipe example, since it had been given before when discussing what I thought was a similar issue with using external identifiers for terms. Jason
