Hi Jose, Hugh, About this snippet: "If you have an existing Web site, and would like to make your XHTML information (say a table of figures) available as re-useable data, RDFa and GRDDL are two good approaches to use." Considering the fact that both Google and Yahoo harvest embedded RDFa from webpages, I would suggest to emphasize RDFa as the preferred way of embedding (meta)data in existing XHTML. JSON is nice, but is really more of a separate syntax for serializing RDF-like information (as are the various different syntaxes for RDF). -Rinke On 29 jun 2009, at 12:22, Jose M.
