I think there is about 3 approaches to getting semantics coded on our pages (hopefully) in RDF. 1) Scraping XHTML and transforming it to RDF (which you mention above). 2) Hand editing the RDF after the fact ... perhaps using some tools from (1). 3) Writing the original content inside a Semantic Word Processor and generating the RDF _and_ the XHTML in the process. There is one product [1] that is pretty close to this now. I think all three approaches will be tried and blended, but they will converge on (3). [1] http://www.thebrain.com/ Seth Russell
