Hi Gerard,

Would it be possible for you to include the following relations in
<http://www.lexvo.org/page/term/eng/book#thisPage>, using any
combination of the following:

[1] POSH -- i.e., placing <link rel="about"
href="http://www.lexvo.org/data/term/eng/book" /> within <head/>

[2] HTML structured data island -- i.e., using <script/> to embed and
combination of RDF-Turtle, JSON-LD, RDF-XML

[3] HTML+Microdata or HTML+RDFa .

Why?

To increase discoverability to smart agents with regards to the
fine-grained structured data provided by
<http://www.lexvo.org/page/term/eng/book#thisPage>.

LInks

[1] http://osds.openlinksw.com -- example of a Smart Agent that can make
sense of structured data embedded in HTML docs en route to simplified
Semantic Web of Linked Data exploration and exploitation.
