Other data browsers do similar things. The Sindice search engine will show rdfs:label, dc:title and a few other properties as the title of a search result listing. > and b) are > there examples of other properties that enjoy similar support? My completely unscientific take on this: The really widely supported stuff is rdf:type, rdfs:label, rdfs:comment, and everything from FOAF and Dublin Core. On the second tier, we have SKOS, SIOC, RSS 1.0, DOAP and a few others, so if your app or data source covers a domain addressed by those vocabularies then it's a good idea to support/use them.
