Hi RDFa fans, I was chatting with TimBL in IRC earlier, and asked what it would take to add RDFa support to Tabulator. Tabulator is a Firefox addon that adds generic RDF navigation capabilities to the browser. It doesn't sound like a massive task. More a question of clue code and a bit of engineering. http://swig.xmlhack.com/2008/08/31/2008-08-31.html#1220202352.472801 has the notes, copied here too: [[ RDFa implementations in Javascript posted by timbl at 2008-08-31 17:05 (+) tags: timbl: Anyone feel like adding it into Tabulator danbri: Can you outline where it would plug in? timbl: Not obviosu which bits one needs danbri: Is it easy to re-build the installation XPI? (do they need to be signed etc for Firefox 3?) timbl: The tabulator extension is not signed, .. we couldn't wrap our heads round that though it would be a good thing to do. Signing tools not obvious danbri: If someone provides you with an rdfa js function that took an url, and returned triples ... how should that work? eg. what representation of triples, ...? timbl: If I give it the DOM root element of an HTML web page, and a pointer to a store in which to store the triples, it should parse the RDFa out. timbl: As a title triple is added at line 96 of sources.js in tabulator timbl: For developing tabulator, you can make yorufirefox use te version cheked out in SVN. ]] The code ref is http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2005/ajar/ajaw/js/rdf/sources.js Tabulator home page http://www.w3.org/2005/ajar/tab RDFa in Javascript page http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/impl/js/ If anyone's interested to help with this (or could help arrange a student project etc) do please let me know. thanks!
