Couple more apologies. First, sorry to go on and on about this, with
long examples and test output and ranting again. Second, I think what I
meant to say before was not about Vocabulary but maybe .... just
"Different parsers can see the same thing very differently" and maybe
the recommendations from this group should steer newbees in the
direction that causes the least confusion. Now, onto more rant :)
In reply to Philip, actually there was a copy paste mistake (extra
closing div) in the HTML I had used as examples before as well as the
odd way the <a> was added as you pointed out. I found that, indeed,
testing with one more parser (any23) the outcome was wrong. HOWEVER, a
little change in the V1 HTML and it works in both parsers, I mean
produces the very same RDF, but with really different HTML. The Rich
Snip Test Tool, however, follows the HTML and produces different output.
See the two sets of examples below. These are labeled V1 and V2, and
each set includes the HTML, extracts from two RDF distillers and the
Rich Snip Test tool.

Oops, the examples were expanded further down in the original mail:
The JSON representation of those are:
Version One:
{
"items":[
{
"type":"http://schema.org/NewsArticle",
"id":"http://www.example.com/news/20110415123/",
"properties":{
"articleBody":[
"\n NEW YORK, NY--(Test News)--Stocks were mixed and
bond
yields were at their lowest level\n in a year Thursday.... "
],
"copyrightHolder":[
"http://www.businesswire.com/"
]
}
},
{
"type":"http://schema.org/Organization",
"id":"http://businesswire.com/",
"properties":{
"name":[
"Business Wire"
]
}
}
Version Two:
{
"items":[
{
"type":"http://schema.org/NewsArticle",
"id":"http://www.example.com/news/20110415123/",
"properties":{
"articleBody":[
"\n NEW YORK, NY--(Test News)--Stocks were mixed and
bond
yields were at their lowest level\n in a year Thursday.... "
],
"copyrightHolder":[
{
"type":"http://schema.org/Organization",
"id":"http://businesswire.com/",
"properties":{
"name":[
"Business Wire"
]
}
}
]
}
}
]
}
Given this, it's pretty plain to see why the RDF representation is the
same: the use of itemid. I would suggest using Version Two.
I'll also take the opportunity to complain (again) that the meaning of
itemid is still not defined for schema.org, so strictly speaking using
it
is invalid.
