Hi Maxime, Thanks you for this further clarification. I think a formulation you define, where the litteral would be the _object_ of the triple while the span is the subject, may be sufficient for what ITS is looking for. We only want to mark the litteral for further processing, rather than wanting to make direct assertions about it as a subject. The question of whether we should be using RDFa for this at all is a broader one. It would be good to get other views, especially from potential implementors of ITS2.0 on this? Also, to reinforce Maxime's point, the ontolex members and their expertise would be very welcome at the upcoming dublin workshop. On the 11 june we are looking at future roadmaps for convergence of the multilingual web with LOD. On the 12 and 13th we will be focussing directly on the requirements for the ITS2.0 recommendation that the MLW-LT WG is currently producing. We've not finalised the schedule yet, but I imagine that these RDFa issue would be examined early on the 12th in the context of terminology management and it tool support in localization.
