Hi All, Alex Faaborg has written a series of articles (see [1]) about plans for detecting and using semantic metadata in the upcoming Firefox 3.0. Very interesting articles and they are relevant to the world of Semantic Web and to the Semantic Radar extension [2] for Firefox. SIOC, FOAF, DOAP, etc. are metadata formats that browser users could put to a good use. In fact, users need not worry where the data come from (microformats, RDF, or something else) as long as that information is reliable and useful to them. It would be good include in web browsers the capability of detecting and using [links to] RDF data. Alternatively, a tool to detect RDF metadata can be built on and benefit from the microformat detection infrastructure built into the browser, provided this infrastructure is generic enough. Firefox already uses RDF for some of its functions and I wonder if there will be some synergy between these two things inside a browser. Where do you see the use of RDF data by a browser? And how are you using RDF data (and microformats data) currently present on the web?
