RDFa Updates (RDFa use cases, HTML5 micro-data thread on WHATWG)
Michael: Re RDFa validator

tes
[22] http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-rdfa-syntax-20081014/#rdfa-attributes
someone did href=[foaf:Person]
Michael: I wondered if we can write a validator that checks that
each of the attribute values is of a correct type; CURIE, URI, etc.
Mark: no, I don't think this is easy
... property="http:..." would be flagged as a CURIE but then later
you'd notice that there was no 'http' prefix defined
<mhausenblas> @datatype="[23]http://www.....org/xml/schema/string"
[23] http://www.....org/xml/schema/string
<mhausenblas> http: is the token
<inserted> scribenick: ralph
Mark: it's almost impossible to distinguish
Michael: but the URL schemes are registered
<mhausenblas> coming from
[24]http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes.html
[24] http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes.html
Michael: so perhaps one could note when registered schemes are
mis-used as prefixes
Mark: sure, a validator could be as strict as it wants
... but there CURIE spec does not disallow using 'http' as a prefix,
nor any other scheme type
... and I'd oppose such a restriction
Shane: I've seen people choose to define 'http' as a prefix; it's a
useful workaround
... I consider the ability to define http as a prefix is a feature
Manu: it's a nice trick but I don't think we should be recommending
it
... Michael's question is 'what advice should a validator give?'
... the validator could just note when a registered scheme is used
as a prefix, not disallow it
Shane: it's more important to flag cases where a CURIE prefix is
used but never defined
Michael: I could validate strings starting with http: against the
HTTP URI syntax spec
... a warning or hint -- not error -- might help for other
registered schemes, even though there may not be many that would
accidentally be used by a document author
Mark: if the validator wants to complain about registered schemes as
prefixes, then it should complain as soon as it sees xmlns:http=
Shane: it would be fine to say "This prefix has not been defined; it
looks like you're trying to use a URI. Here's what to do instead
..."
<msporny> [25]http://rdfa.info/wiki/Rdfa-use-cases
[25] http://rdfa.info/wiki/Rdfa-use-cases
msporny: we have some 25 UC now
<msporny>
[26]http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-April/0
19374.html
[26] http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-April/019374.html
msporny: people are discussing UC
markbirbeck: RDFa works already fine in HTML5
... we continue to support people that want to use it
... and as a matter of fact people are using it
msporny: there seems to be a shift from non-data mechanism awareness
to data awareness in HTML5
markbirbeck: it is clear that the authority is here, in the end
... and we're happy to give them advise *how* to implement it in
HTML5
... RDFa has solved the decentralised voc management issue
... and one should encourage HTML5 not to become incompatible
ShaneM: RDFa helps HTML5 to support the Semantic Web
<ShaneM> RDFa helps EVERYTHING support the semantic web
Michael: there are other routes as well, just to note, for example

ShaneM: next time when Ben and Steven are around we might continue

OWL2 Manchester Syntax eschewing CURIEs - need to comment (Shane)
ShaneM: OWL WG decided not to use CURIEs
... rational was not clear, sad, though
<markbirbeck> One more 'rdfa update':
[30]http://webbackplane.com/mark-birbeck/blog/2009/04/23/more-rdfa-g
oodness-from-uk-government-web-sites
[30] http://webbackplane.com/mark-birbeck/blog/2009/04/23/more-rdfa-goodness-from-uk-government-web-sites
ShaneM: seems there was a misunderstanding with CURIEs (re XMLNS)
... but that will change
... they invented an abbreviated URI mechanism
<msporny> OWL2 Manchester Syntax document:
[31]http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-owl2-manchester-syntax-20090421/
[31] http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-owl2-manchester-syntax-20090421/
ShaneM: but not a CURIE, funny enough
... XHTML2 WG will send in a LC comment to object re this
<msporny> +1 for commenting on CURIEs
<mhausenblas>+1
ShaneM: will prepare a comment for XHTML2 WG, RDFa TF may join
... due on 12 May

[35] http://rdfa.info/wiki/RDFa_Profiles
ShaneM: I think we need to define the requirements as well.
... we're trying to figure out a way to define CURIE rules external
to the document.
markbirbeck: I agree.
<ShaneM> where part of those rules include prefix mappings, and part
include defining additional reserved words
markbirbeck: Essentially, we want to get the same simplicity that
Microformats has.
... We might have a second use case - importing a collection of new
tokens.
ShaneM: but you could do it with another mechanism.
... That is a different problem than what we're currently
discussing.
markbirbeck: that is true, but where this is heading - how do we set
ourselves up for a future that we know is coming?
... we need to make sure the rules get placed into a separate graph.
ShaneM: As long as we're generating triples, we should be good.
markbirbeck: Are you saying that the external import mechanism is
more important?
ShaneM: I think they're different, not tied to one another.
