Thanks Ivan, Niklas, Karl, ...

We're getting there!

Yup, but I was hoping also to get the details of the area and the image 
URL into triples too, so a SPARQL store can be a self-contained 
photographic addressbook / clipart db.

I put your example into http://danbri.org/2008/imagemap/ivan.html and 
ran the latest GetN3 .js bookmarklet on it. Results:

_:n0 <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> 
<http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person> .
_:n0 <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "Dan Brickley"@en .

<http://danbri.org/2008/imagemap/ivan.html#area1> 
<http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/depicts> _:n0 .


hmm it's not getting the primaryTopic. Maybe the .js is out of date?

Some candidate goals:

* look as much like current HTML as possible
* work with multiple tagged areas
* allow enough info to be exposed via triples to reconstruct the shapes 
over the mapped image from the RDF

So we can get triples that use the URI from src somehow?

Is it legit to use <object>? do browsers understand it appropriately in 
this context?

cheers,
