RDF-ISSUE-83 (HTML-rel-meta): RDF/XML: Incorrect reference for use of HTML rel="meta" [RDF General] http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/track/issues/83 Raised by: Richard Cyganiak On product: RDF General The 2004 RDF/XML spec has a section on “Using RDF/XML with HTML and XHTML”: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-syntax-grammar-20040210/#section-rdf-in-HTML This section states: [[ The DCMI has used and recommended rel="meta" when linking in RFC 2731 — Encoding Dublin Core Metadata in HTML [RFC-2731] ]] However, flicking through RFC2731, I can't find any mention of rel="meta". So it seems that the reference is wrong: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2731.txt I found a Dublin Core document that explicitly recommends rel="meta", but it is marked as SUPERSEDED, and I cannot find rel="meta" recommended in any of the documents that replace it: http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmes-xml/ So it may be the case that the DCMI no longer recommends the use of rel="meta". I note however that rel="meta" is recommended by FOAF, GoodRelations, and W3C's “Cool URIs for the Semantic Web” document, and generally in fairly wide use. A roundup of links is here: http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-meta A separate question is whether this section should be in the RDF/XML spec at all, given that it's not syntax-specific. Maybe the Primer is a better place?
