<- The RDF Schema spec hints at 'rdfs:seeAlso' for cascading purposes, e.g.: <- <- <rdf:RDF ...(namespaces)...> <- <rdf:Description rdf:about="" rdfs:seeAlso="furtherinfo.rdf"/> <- </rdf:RDF> Looks viable - I wonder if there's anything more than hints this is rather important, probably well known (but I can't think of it) - what is the best way to use inheritance of metadata between documents? How do I avoid adding the same author information to every one of the million pages I've written (with the aid of some monkeys)? <- >On another line, forget XHTML for a moment, how do we embed metadata in <- >other XML markups? <- <- I thought this is what XML Namespaces are for! Just embed your elements, <- any processor that doesn't recognise the namespace (within its <- context) can <- ignore it. Note that to validate such documents properly (and allow such <- open mixing-and-matching of different 'XML mini-languages') will <- require XML <- Schema. Quite. (to avoid this going in circles, please ignore) so why should XHTML be treated any different?
