Leonard Richardson & Sam Ruby's ORA book on REST

This document describes the XML schema for the Sitemap protocol.

This is the workspace for RDFa (RDF in HTML). You may also want to subscribe to the mailing list of the RDF in XHTML Taskforce.

RDFa is a syntax for expressing this structured data in XHTML. The rendered, hypertext data of XHTML is reused by the RDFa markup, so that publishers don't repeat themselves. The underlying abstract representation is RDF, which lets publishers build their own vocabulary, extend others, and evolve their vocabulary with maximal interoperability over time. The expressed structure is closely tied to the data, so that rendered data can be copied and pasted along with its relevant structure. This document is an introduction to RDFa. A more detailed syntax specification is being produced.

This document describes how a subset of RDF can be embedded into XHTML or HTML by using common idioms and attributes. No new elements or attributes have been invented and the usages of the HTML attributes are within normal bounds. This scheme is designed to work with CSS and other HTML support technologies.

Bill de HÓra published a nice-and-simple List Markup Language today. He's framed it as an XML language, and notes that it would be nice to have an XSLT transform into RDF. In a subsequent post, he talks a bit – basically – about the RDF tax. So, given that RDF is not RDF/XML, and since it may be time to deprecate RDF/XML anyways, I was thinking two things: 1. What's the trivial translation into the RDF model? 2. How far is the presented XML from RDF?
