Re: HTML in RDF

Yes, we have CSS and RDF mapping,

We  can  also go  css to xml and RDF and back again (I  think of it as
cheating...)

The reason we use it is to map css to implication inside presentation (pink
being feminine etc)
so in different media or for users with different access to presentation
(typically people with disabilities) we can cross over the implied meaning
into something that works for them

I am now working out (slowly) the interactivity model in RDF. Is anyone else
doing that?

By the way, although pictures may not work in RDF the implications and
meaning behind the picture, the relationship of the picture to other pieces
of content (this picture links to/illustrate/has text equivalent of some
other content)
all work nicely
