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

Hi Peter,

don't know. In a O'Reilly about Google's RDFa support, Guha says that they draw and plan to draw from existing vocabularies. 

"And we're not going to do this all by ourselves. As it is, we are drawing from several sources. We're drawing from microformats. We're drawing from vCard. And there are other places that you will see. And there's other people who know more about their topics than we could possibly know. And we'll draw on all of these things. So to come back and answer your question, we hope that the scope of this will be substantially more than the scope of all the particular data types that work today by microformats."

Cheers

Chris
