I hope you find this useful ;) Hi Michael, I guess my question was more *should* than *how* to use links to the RDF vs. embedded RDFa. Your post points to an upper bound for where should turns into shouldn't (at some number of triples where the page takes too long to load). As far as should one put RDFa to begin with, supporting cut-and-paste operations in the UI seems like a compelling reason (caveats about implementations properly getting the subject URI aside). Somehow I'm still leaning towards a minimalistic position only putting as much information in RDFa as necessary to give enough context to pull the entire resource. For example if I mention Richard Feynman I might want to embed dbpedia:Richard_Feynman a foaf:Person but not include copious biographical information in hidden <span>s (unless I'm writing his biography). Cheers, -w
