HTML Form to semantic web proposal

Hi,

   following a discussion with the IndieWeb folks on a pingback protocol,
where we are trying to satisfy the constraints that the IndieWeb folks live
by - which is very close to the first generation of the Web - and yet who
want to work in a global web of data - the following requirement came
up: how can a resource make explicit its interpretation of web forms.

I write this up here:
  https://github.com/w3c-social/webmention/issues/11

Essentially this would not entail very much other than creating a Link realation
that could point to something like a document that would contain a mapping
that could look like this

[[
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>.
@prefix contact: <http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/contact#> .

CONSTRUCT { 
[]  foaf:name ?name;
    foaf:age ?age;
    contact:home 
            [ a contact:ContactLocation;
                contact:address [ contact:city ?city;
                                  contact:country ?country;
                                  contact:postalCode ?zip;
                                  contact:street ?street 
                                ] .
} WITH ?name ?age ?city ?country ?zip ?street
]]

where ?name ?age ?city etc would be the values of the properties taken from the 
application/x-www-form-urlencoded content sent in a POST.

This should not be that much work to specify I suppose, especially for the SPARQL knowledgeable folks.

Any feedback?

	Henry
