Hi, Ivan: ....Hope you're feeling better. My only recommendation is to restructure your introduction using bullet points for some of the excellent content you have: Example: RDFa enables machine readable "tags" to be included with electronic or "born digital' materials (text, images, video, etc.) that are marked up using a variety of webpage markup languages. These "tags" may include such information as: 1. who created a particular material 2. important descriptive and/or technical information pertaining to the material 3. intellectual property rights associated with the material's use 4. information on finding related materials which may be of interest and/or use (ex. Links to the creator's social networking page, where other examples of her/his work might be accessible.) Instead of: What if the browser, or any machine consumer such as a Web crawler, received information on the meaning of a web page's visual elements? A dinner party announced on a blog could be easily copied to the user's calendar, an author's complete contact information to the user's address book. Users could automatically recall previously browsed articles according to categorization labels (i.e., tags). A photo copied and pasted from a web site to a school report would carry with it a link back to the photographer, giving her proper credit. A link shared by a user to his social network contacts would automatically carry additional data pulled from the original web page: a thumbnail, an author, and a specific title. When web data meant for humans is augmented with hints meant for computer programs, these programs become significantly more helpful, because they begin to understand the data's structure. RDFa allows HTML authors to do just that. Using a few simple HTML attributes, authors can mark up human-readable data with machine-readable indicators for browsers and other programs to interpret. A web page can include markup for items as simple as the title of an article, or as complex as a user's complete social network. I think the examples are very clear and concise. ...Hope this helps and doesn't create too much of an editing issue. Tom Tom Adamich, MLS President Visiting Librarian Service P.O.

I have made yet another update of the RDFa Primer: http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/sources/rdfa-primer/ taking over the examples that were in the previous version of the RDFa API (and have slightly modified them here and there). Again, I would like to get this published as a FPWD soon, to put a stake in the ground (we are very late with that one), which requires that some of you have a look at the text to see if it is good enough...
