It's not really intended to be an introduction, so much as a complete list of use cases that people want the spec to cover. > Ian, would it help if I continue to elaborate on the RDFa use cases on > the RDFa wiki?

Thoughts? >From the point of view of the HTML5 effort, what is needed is use cases, scenarios, and requirements, that don't in any way imply a particular solution, as in the list I posted, so that solutions can be evaluated. The rdfa.info wiki page was invaluable in the creation of the list I posted this morning -- I used that, as well as blog comments and about 15,000 lines' worth of e-mails, in the creation of the list. I tried to make sure every use case mentioned was covered, so if anyone posted a use case to this mailing list, to the wiki, or to blogs on the subject in the past few months, that is not listed in that e-mail, I apologise -- please let me know so that I can add them. (It may be that I didn't understand the use case -- there's a couple I don't get, noted with "(why?)" in the e-mail sent this morning.) The more concrete the use cases the better. Users do concrete things. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. Things that are impossible just take longer. `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
