Help required for my research in semantic web

Hi Everyone,

I'm an MS student at one of the developing countries, that is, Pakistan.
I'm conducting my research on the migration of existing web to the semantic
web.

I had an idea of using microformats for this purpose and automating
the process. Unfortunately, to continue with my research, I'm unable to find
the relevant description on why this method (or a similar one) is not
used before.

I've built up a strategy in my mind which is automatically converting the
static text on an HTML page to microformats. The problem I'm facing is
that I'm unable to find the relevant research work in this direction e.g.
why there isn't any automatic strategy there for this purpose already or why
the automatic creation of meta data has not been looked into. I'm ready to
discuss my strategy with you so that we could see if things look fine till
this point. I'm done with the initial stuff as what semantic web is, what is
grddl, foaf and rdfa. This is the point where I'm stuck. I don't find any
relevant strategy to compare my work to.

Can you suggest something? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
