Great discussion, finding out about ITS in this context - thanks Sebastian. I would never have found section 5.4 otherwise, or even thought that ITS had much direct relevance to RDF - the abstract certainly doesn't fire me with RDF enthusiasm :-) That's some serious algorithm to do for its-ta-ident-ref (is that a Eurovision Song Contest entry?). But it starts from a seriously simple annotation (which Denny asked for), which is exactly what we should be providing. I can imagine (in some universe!) lots of documents getting things like <span its-ta-ident-ref="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Dublin">Dublin</span> all over the place, to great advantage for us consumers. By hand, or really simple tools to use. I am guessing there are such tools of which I am ignorant? Am I right in thinking I can have things like?: Am <span its-ta-ident-ref="http://id.ecs.soton.ac.uk/person/21">I</span> right in thinking that <span its-ta-ident-ref="http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i">Tim</span> is <span its-ta-ident-ref="http://usefulinc.com/ns/doap#developer">someone who works on</span> the <span its-ta-ident-ref="http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2005/ajar/ajaw/data#Tabulator">Tabulator</span>? <span its-ta-ident-ref="http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i">He</span> says so in his <span its-ta-ident-ref="http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card">personal profile</span>.

Please see the new ITS 2.0 spec [1], which provides a solution for this.

A number of years ago I proposed an approach to a solution I called Instance Markup Language (1) which gained no traction. The consensus at the time was that RDFa would provide the solution for this need and also that it wasn't really important because the great bulk of instance data would come from large data bases and not from HTML. I don't think RDFa has in fact provided a "clean and simple" way to identify specific terms in HTML text and link those terms to classes or properties in a specific ontology. I never thought my proposed approach was exactly right, but I did have hope it would inspire someone come forward with a similar, but cleaner, way to do this. Even though the subject still occasionally come up, after all these years it's pretty clear I was wrong about this being an important component of Semantic Web technology. >> >> >> >> (1) http://mysite.verizon.net/jflynn12/IML.htm >> >> >> >> From: Denny Vrandečić [mailto:denny.vrandecic@wikimedia.de] >> Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 1:59 PM >> To: semantic-web at W3C >> Subject: How to put an annotation in HTML? >> >> >> >> Sorry, probably a stupid questions: >> >> >> >> Let us say, I have some HTML like this... >> >> >> >> <p>It is well known, that Springfield has mild summers and short, but hard winters.</p> >> >> >> >> And now, for example in order to simplify extraction, I want to annotate Springfield with an URI, maybe like this, to make sure that the computer understands I mean the Springfield in Massachusetts: >> >> >> >> <p>It is well known, that <span about="http://sws.geonames.org/4951788/">Springfield</span> has mild summers and short, but hard winters.</p> >> >> >> >> How do I actually do that? >> >> >> >> Mind you, I don't want to add whole triples, but just annotate the HTML and say "this element refers to the following URI". >> >> >> >> Cheers, >> >> Denny >> >> >> >> >> >> -- >> Project director Wikidata >> Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. | Obentrautstr. 72 | 10963 Berlin >> Tel. +49-30-219 158 26-0 | http://wikimedia.de >> >> Wikimedia Deutschland - Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V.
