Then the data would appear on all pages where the values are shown, whether on special pages, in queries, or on the page itself. This would be nice. The problem with this is that the SMW value objects do not know their subject (they sometimes know their property, for typing information, but never their subject). And the way they are retrieved, it may even happen that they do not have a subject in all cases (e.g. when you view all values of a property, then one value may belong to many subjects). So not all places really would allow for proper RDFa export in the end. I am also slightly concerned about the change in data model that it would imply if we generally would store whole triples in single values. But there is currently no SMW-internal representation of a "triple" for representing wiki data -- everything is lists of properties and lists of values. This makes it hard to find a good place to get the information from for RDFa export in a universal sense (i.e. not just on pages). But if we can live without this, then one could still enable RDFa embedding on the pages where the data is originally given. This would probably not be very useful, since the same page already has a link to the complete RDF export, but who knows. Maybe some search engines like it ... After this, the problem is locating the right spot for making a change, as mentioned by Yaron. This amounts to something that is similar to what SMWWriter attempts to do (and does successfully in many cases). So I think it would be feasible in some cases, but problematic in general.
