Notes on RDFa For Turtles

2010-03-12 Thread Paul Houle
I’ve gotten some great feedback and spent some time looking at specs, and here are some thoughts. “RDFa For Turtles” is an RDFa subset (profile?) that makes it easy to specify triples in the HEAD of an HTML document. I intend to distill it into a short “HOWTO” document that any webmaster can

RDFa for Turtles

2010-03-10 Thread Paul Houle
I'm working on linked data output for http://ny-pictures.com/ so I'm trying to come up with an RDFa Profile that's appropriate for my application; goals are (i) separation of presentation in content (I can move my divs around and never end up losing an about) and (ii) high compatibility with

RDFa for Turtles 2: HTML embedding

2010-03-10 Thread Paul Houle
Specific proposal for RDFa embedding in HTML Ok, here's a strategy for embedding RDFa metadata in HTML document heads -- make the head of the document be a valid XHTML fragment. Here, now, I'm going to write something like

Melvin Carvalho: This seems sensible. I did have the idea of dumping a whole bunch of RDFa triples in the footer, and setting visibility to zero, but if you can do it safely in the head, problem solved! We're back to the old days of putting meta data in the head of a document. This

DC-HTML as a linked data format

2010-03-08 Thread Paul Houle
Hello, I was talking to Kingsley the other day about lightweight mechanisms for adding linked data to existing HTML pages. I started adding some geotags and some statements from the Dublin Core vocabulary, using the DC-HTML format: http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-html/ I was pretty

Context Tags, Context Sets and Beyond Named Graphs...

2010-01-18 Thread Paul Houle
For a while I've been struggling with a number of practical problems working in RDF. Some of these addressed by Named Graphs as they currently exists, but others aren't. Over the weekend I had an idea for something that I think is highly expressive but also can be implemented efficiently. The
