Hi all, In the FOAF spec we have for a while had various ways of finding an RDF description of the vocabulary. The server supports content negotiation, or you can go to http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/index.rdf ... or the HTML doc has in it's header, <link href="http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/index.rdf" rel="alternate" type="application/rdf+xml" /> In addition, the XHTML spec has usually had RDF/XML embedded directly inside it. I think - especially with the rise of RDFa, the time has come to switch this off. It makes the document ill-formed, and isn't a widely used deployment style. Would any object if future versions of the FOAF spec didn't embed RDF/XML in the XHTML? The RDF (ie. RDFS/OWL) will still be accessible via content negotiation and a link to index.rdf as above. In addition we can add some RDFa, covering some (and perhaps eventually all) of the RDF statements from the schema. Libby's begun working on the latter piece. Let me know ASAP if you have tools or services that rely on the RDF/XML within HTML and we can work something out... cheers, Dan
