HTML-ISSUE-171 (microdata-rdf): URI-s generated for microdata attribute values [Microdata] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/171 Raised by: Sam Ruby On product: Microdata This issue was raised on behalf of Raphaël Troncy, based on the following bug: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12713 ---- The microdata document includes a separate section (section 5.2) on how the microdata information should mapped on RDF. It includes design choices regarding the URI-s generated for microdata attribute values in case those values are not absolute URI-s. The current specifications lead to URIs of the form (using the example in the document) http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/microdata#http://microformats.org/profile/hcard%23:adr%20street-address Using such URI-s for data originating, in this example from a microformat is unnecessary complicated, and puts an extra strain on any RDF representation of the microdata vocabulary. It would also cast the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/microdata# string as part of that RDF representation for no good technical reason and would make the resulting URI-s either not dereferencable (which is contrary to the requirements set up, for example, in the Linked Open Data community) or would put an extra and unnecessary strain on the w3c server to set up and maintain such dereferencing service.
