Specific proposal for RDFa embedding in HTML -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, here's a strategy for embedding RDFa metadata in HTML document <heads> -- make the <head> of the document be a valid XHTML fragment. Here, now, I'm going to write something like <head xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:dcterms=" http://purl.org/dc/terms/"> <meta rel="dcterms:creator" content="Ataru Morobishi"> </head> Because the content of the <meta> area is so simple, compared to other parts of an html document, I feel comfortable publishing a valid XHTML fragment for the head. My understanding is that the namespace declarations will just be ignored by ordinary HTML tools (as they are in backwards-compatible XHTML documents) so there's really no problem here. This does bend the XHTML/RDFa standard and also HTML a little (those namespace declarations aren't technically valid) but I think we get a big gain (even a Turtle-head can embed triples in an HTML document) for very little pain. Any thoughts?Received on Wednesday, 10 March 2010 17:20:19 UTC
