Re: Formats and icing (Was Re: [ESWC 2015] First Call for Paper)

Not to pile on Sarven, said Gannon, piling on, but I recently tripped over the XSD validation tests I did a couple of years ago.  They are XHTML 1.1 + RDFa all zipped up so you won't have to stitch the schema together (it is 20+ little files).  If anyone wants it please contact me off-board.
(If you are the person who stole my Nook, contact me.  Then run.)

 IMO, this particular
 discussion is not what we should be focusing on. 
 And, it almost always deters from the main
 topic. There are a number of 
 ways to get to
 "Web friendly" representations and presentations.
 EPUB? 
 Sure. Whatever floats the
 author's boat. As long as we can precisely 
 identify and be able to discover the items in
 research papers, that's 
 all fine.
 
 I personally don't find
 the need to set any hard limitations on (X)HTML 
 or which vocabularies to use. So, schema.org is
 not granular enough at 
 this time. There are
 more appropriate ones out there e.g: e.g., 
 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2014Jul/0179.html
 , but 
 that doesn't mean that we
 can't use them along with schema.org.
 
 I favour plain HTML+CSS+RDFa
 to get things going e.g.:
 
 https://github.com/csarven/linked-research
 
 (I will not dwell on the use
 of SVG, MathML, JavaScript etc. at this 
 point, but you get the picture).
 
 The primary focus right now is
 to have SW/LD venues compromise i.e., not 
 insist only on Adobe's PDF, but welcome Web
 native technologies.
 
 Debating on which Doctype or vocabulary or
 whatever is like the icing on 
 the cake. Can
 we first bring the flour into our kitchen?
