Hi Richard, > But this has the effect that in RDFa, the subject no longer defaults to the > URI of the *page*, but to the URI of *another page*, which is usually not > what I want (I want my @property="dc:title" and @rel="foaf:primaryTopic" to > apply to the individual page, not to the homepage). > > So I need to override the <base> with @about in order to have the desired > default subject in RDFa. But because the implicit @about="" is added *twice* > (at <head> and <body>), I also need to override it *twice*. I agree that this sounds right...but when I think back to examples where I've done this kind of thing, I recall that I've invariably created a bnode for the body anyway, since what the document is 'about' is different to the document itself. (That's the information resource/resource issue I referred to.) In other words, the general subject for statements in the body is usually different to the general subject for statements in the head, particularly when using foaf:primaryTopic. But perhaps the best thing, before we jump to any conclusions, would be if you could provide an example? Then we could take it from there.
