I can't just insert the RDF into > the head of the document because it will no longer be valid HTML 4.0. I stole this idea from: http://www.w3.org/RDF/FAQ Which may answer some questions. If your document is an XHTML page, then you can stick it in since it is safely in another namespace. If it's not XHTML then you can convert it at: http://check.theinfo.org/html/tidy > Also, the RDF data is useless to me without a digital signature.

You'll want to use the Web-of-Trust's Assurance: <wot:assurance rdf:resource="(uri-of-document-signature)" /> Now you'll probably want to add more information about you (a link to your PGP key, etc.) in which case you can put up an RDF file like this: <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#" xmlns:wn="http://xmlns.com/wordnet/1.6/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/"> <wn:Person rdf:ID="russell"> <name>Russell O'Connor</name> <mbox rdf:resource="mailto:roconnor@math.berkeley.edu"/> <homepage rdf:resource="http://www.math.berkeley.edu/~roconnor/"/> <pubkeyAddress rdf:resource="http://www.math.berkeley.edu/~roconnor/russellgpg.txt"/> </wn:Person> </rdf:RDF> Now that you've given yourself an ID, you can update your page's RDF assertion to point to your RDF description on the Web. So all together that would be: <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:wot="http://xmlns.com/wot/0.1/> <rdf:Description rdf:about="" dc:title = "My document" dc:description = "My ramblings about my summer vacation." dc:date = "2001-09-10" > <dc:creator rdf:resource="(uri-of-your-rdf-description)#russell" /> <wot:assurance rdf:resource="(uri-of-document-signature)" /> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF> Congratulations! You're a true Semantic Web pioneer.
