Yes, the abstract needed work. Here's what I just committed in v1.94. It more fully abstracts the contents of the document... Abstract GRDDL is a mechanism for Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages. This GRDDL specification introduces markup for declaring that an XML document includes RDF data and for linking to an algorithm, typically represented in XSLT, for gleaning the RDF data from the document. The markup includes a namespace-qualified attribute for use in general-purpose XML documents and a profile-qualified link relationship for use in valid XHTML documents. The GRDDL mechanism also allows an XML namespace document (or XHTML profile document) to declare that every document associated with that namespace (or profile) includes RDF data and for linking to an algorithm for gleaning the data. A corresponding GRDDL Use Case Working Draft @@pubfix link provides motivating examples. A GRDDL Primer @@pubfix link demonstrates the mechanism on XHTML documents which include widely-deployed dialects, more recently known as microformats. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
