I think your and my latest example just passed each other Gregg. I guess I posted mine when you were writing yours because when I compare the two I see we implemented the same workaround by means of additional @resource. "I wouldn't recommend the use of included patterns in RDFa, but it can be made to work." I wouldn't recommend it either but unfortunately the everyday website out there consists out of a HTML-soup which doesn't allow for Semantic markup to be added in a nice and clean way. Now I mainly work on already existing websites, where I have to make do with HTML that's already in place. Therefore itemref or rdfa:pattern are indispensable when organizing/linking data that's smeared out over many different HTML elements on a page. I am very aware this results in markup that isn't 'nice' but it helps create meaning even if the HTML is a mess. "P.S., I think it's great that you're trying to describe this for a wider audience!" Well, I'm not doing it alone. Aaron Bradley is acting as the devil's advocate by asking me questions which mess up the solutions I provide. Which in return forces me to come up with different solutions and ask a lot of questions at the public-vocabs (and now here as well). :) So trying to do something for a bigger audience will most definitely end up in something that has been contributed by many people. As always this kind of stuff ends up being a multi-community/person effort since it brings together so many different specializations and specifications. -- Andy and Gregg, Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I'll make sure re-share it and am hopeful it will result in an article (or series of) which will try to serve anybody who is (or should be) interested in this type of info. 2014-03-09 6:46 GMT+01:00 Gregg Kellogg <gregg@greggkellogg.net>: > On Mar 8, 2014, at 5:50 PM, Jarno van Driel <jarnovandriel@gmail.com> > wrote: > > "..the @resource attributes get in the way.." > Could you explain this to me a bit more please Gregg?
