[Part of the "Webize everything (c.f. [1])" series]
One of the topics that came up in the F2F was a minor implementation
detail - how to link to EARL from whatever file. In HTML, someone
commented that we have the "rel" attribute... however, there are no
decent rel attributes defined in HTML 4.01
[http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-links]:-
Alternate, Stylesheet, Start, Next, Prev, Contents, Index,
Glossary, Copyright, Chapter, Section, Subsection,
Appendix, Help, Bookmark.
Luckily, we have the DanC HyperRDF mechnism
[http://www.w3.org/2000/07/hs78/#]. Use that as a profile for the
document, and then simply abuse the system a little bit (remembering
that head can't take an ID attribute) by using URIs as the rel
attributes:-
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en" >
<head profile=http://www.w3.org/2000/07/hs78/#>
<link rel="http://infomesh.net/earl/"
type="text/plain" href="earl.n3" />
[...]
Simple, easy, effective, etc.
As for these discussions about representing "things" in EARL that have
no URIs, try: http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Identity
