Re: making our HTML+RDFa queryable

HI Kingsley,

Probably not, lots of things to do.
But we'll need adequate parsers as well;
I wasn't really successful with any23 for instance,
it it didn't work well on HTML5.

Although this can be useful indeed,
I'm not a big fan myself of this pattern.
The advantage of RDFa is its structural coupling to content,
which can be exploited in lots if interesting ways.
I personally would use conneg for large blurbs of RDF.

Cool, is there also a standalone parser?
The pipeline would become more powerful with this one,
as it currently only supports raw Turtle and RDFa.

Thanks for reporting, but I can't reproduce with curl 7.51.0.
My TLS settings purposely avoid weaker algorithms
to obtain an A+ grade on https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/.
