Hi Dan, > BTW, thinking about RDF-EASE a bit more, I've been wondering whether it > could serve as a nice abstraction layer for writing screenscrapers in > general. The sales pitch in i'd think that wouldnt work since the method relies anyway on the presence of class names at the right places (or the lack of ambiguityin using HTML elements), something that is true only in a few cases. A general scraper needs to deal with more complex cases. As i mentioned earlier, If the application created class names on purpose to be scrapted then RDFa could have been used right away but RDF-EASE certainly could make this even simpler than native RDFa in many cases Giovanni
