Seseme/Rio doesn't have one in its stable release, though I believe one is in development for 3.0. Redland/Raptor often (for me at least) seems to crash on RDFa. It also complains a lot when named entities are used (e.g. ) even though the XHTML+RDFa 1.0 DTD does allow them. Jena (just testing on sparql.org) doesn't seem to handle RDFa at all. Not really "toolkits" per se, but cwm and the current release of Tabulator don't seem to have RDFa support. (Though I think support for the latter is being worked on.) For application developers who are specifically trying to support RDFa, none of this is a major problem - it's pretty easy to include a little content-type detection and pass the XHTML through an RDFa->XML converter prior to the rest of your code getting its hands on it - but this does require specific handling, which must be an obstacle to adoption. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
