Re: Recommendations for Documenting EoL.org Content Partners

Hi Pete,

I'd use Dublin Core and RDFa in HTML for the Content Partners, but I'd suggest you look into the eGov IG activity on data base licenses.  You have, I think, concerns there too.  I don't mean to be flippant, but say Dr. Frankenstein is a Content Partner, then the lawyers will want to know if he/she is the FAMOUS Dr. Frankenstein or some pretender. Genus lex is a bit unpredictable, they seem so friendly until they start chasing you :o)

Hi All,

If you were to recommend how to markup the content providers listed on this page how would you do it?

http://eol.org/content_partners

Would you use SIOC, DOAP or some other vocabulary?

What some would like is the ability to cite a content partner using just a URI.

For example:

<dcterms:source rdf:resource="ContentPartnerURI"/>

I would appreciate any suggestion or comments :-)

Thanks,

- Pete
