RE: Drafts of CURIE note, RDF/A spec, and Examples

Ben,

Reading Ian Davis' proposal (which is excellent Ian, by the way), and
looking at your latest examples Ben, it occurred to me that we could easily
make @class into a CURIE in XHTML 2, and cause that to generate a triple
with a predicate of rdf:type.

This would solve the problem we have been discussing of:

  is there some way that xh2:role is equivalent to rdf:type, and if not
  how do we get such a convenient shorthand (technically known as the
  Pemberton-shorthand ;)).

Using this approach, we could recast one of your examples as follows:

  <h2>Publications</h2>
  <div id="publication_1" class="biblio:Publication">
    <link rel="dc:creator" href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/1109404" />
    <meta property="dc:title">A Standards-Based Virtual Machine</meta>
    <link rel="taxo:topics" href="#tag_standards" />
  </div>

It would still give the same triples:

  <#publication_1> rdf:type biblio:Publication .
  <#publication_1> dc:creator <http://www.blogger.com/profile/1109404>
  <#publication_1> dc:title "A Standards-Based Virtual Machine" .
  <#publication_1> taxo:topics <#tag_standards> .

Note by the way that mixing CURIEs and class names in @class doesn't fall
into the same set of issues as I mentioned before with @rel, since there are
no 'standard' class names. So this is fine:

  <div class="biblio:Publication book">
    ...
  </div>

'book' could just be in the namespace of the current document, and if
present, @profile could be used (as is the current trend with microformats).

Regards,

Mark
