fw: Google starts supporting RDFa -- 'rich snippets'

Very nice.  After Yahoo SearchMonkey has been around for a while, things are
now also moving at Google.

Quite preliminary, but still noteworthy. See

They are also searching for new  vocabularies and data sources that they can
potentially support, I guess they will soon support the popular vocabularies
(FOAF, SIOC etc.) that are also supported by Yahoo Search Monkey [1]. Maybe
we (the HCLS IG) could come up with a biomedical demo scenario based on RDFa
and propose that to Google?
