I made a post earlier today which was probably, well, just kind of lame. I've spent a good part of the day trying to learn more about rdfa and found a nice w3c page that explained it very well. I'm not 100% on the general concept yet, but, getting there. I also read some about miroformats. My concern is this. It would seem that rdfa is certainly more powerful as far as finding data of a specific type, say documents that reference George Washington>as General>personal letters>to Martha. I don't think microformats would be capable of this kind of specificity (I'm I wrong here?). However, rdfa seems to require some knowledge of it beforehand to be able to mark it correctly. For example, say a web developer created a input form to go along with a text input box where on that form a user could input George Washington, and General, letters, and Martha. First, I doubt that a form could even be created, not that one couldn't use PHP or ASP.Net to convert the inputs into an rdf file, But, how could he/she even structure it? Then, what are the chances of a user being able to select the right things to put into the form, or even completing the form? I guess that basically I'm asking if rdfa could be masked by some kind of UI to make it user friendly, to which it seems microformats are more suited. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/User-generated-content%2C-rdfa-and-microformats-tp32018421p32018421.html Sent from the w3.org - semantic-web mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
