A mnemonic for learning RDFa : APRIL

Here's a little mnemonic I thought of that can hopefully capture the
essence of RDFa in one slide.

A.P.R.I.L. = About Property, Rel In Links


1. About Property
================

<span about="#me"><span property="foaf:name">Melvin Carvalho</span></span>

or more concisely

<span about="#me" property="foaf:name">Melvin Carvalho</span>

We're half way there.



2. Rel in Links
=============

<span about="#me><a rel="foaf:homepage"
href="http://melvincarvalho.com/">Click</a></span>

or more concisely

<a about="#me" rel="foaf:homepage" href="http://melvincarvalho.com/">Click</a>

The End.



I know there's a quite a bit more to it, but I think that little
mnemonic gets you over half way through the initial rdfa learning
curve, after that you can just point someone to the primer, for the
xmlns typeof content and profile elements.

Could be of help as a learning/teaching device or maybe elevator discussion?
