Re: [namespaceDocument-8] RDF and RDDL

Sure. The following two are my favourites, making use of (i.e. extending
the woefully inadequate) existing XHTML metadata constructs:-

http://infomesh.net/2001/08/rdfinxhtml/
- Interpreting <link> and <meta> as RDF
(that approach in action:
   http://infomesh.net/2001/tordf/?uri=http://infomesh.net/2001/05/sw/)

http://www.doctypes.org/meta/NOTE-xhtml-augmeta.html
- Augmented Metadata in XHTML (this was actually Murray's work, by and
large)

I've also taken other approaches, such as adding Dublin Core to XHTML with
modularization, and I have an as-yet unpublished article which outlines a
slightly more radical approach for encoding metadata in document formats.
There was also a huge thread about the RDF-in-XHTML topic on
www-rdf-interest:-

For as long as there has been RDF, there have been people wanting to embed
it in HTML!

Or both. But then again, it's not as if I'm pitching <marquee> :-)
