Brian is referring to the RDFa folks rewriting microformats in RDFa, which seems like a non-optimal route to take - it's much better to publish microformats in the microformat syntax, and then use the profile attribute to point GRDDL processors in the right direction. Publishing microformats as RDFa seems like a terrific way to ensure that only RDFa tools can read them.

You can implement a commercial GRDDL processor that pulls in transformation stylesheets from any number of sources. The licensing issues would be irrelevant. Just as you don't have to get a license to go to a webpage, you don't need a license to load a GRDDL stylesheet off the web and run it. That said, it may be an idea for GRDDL stylesheets to be released with the least restrictive licenses one can - like a LGPL type license. > hreview2rdfxml.xsl is a 404. > The link is just broken.

I had a bash at vote-links recently: http://tommorris.org/profiles/votelinks If you use vote-links on any of your pages, feel free to add this URL to the profile attribute of the page to make your vote-links available in RDF space. I'll have a crack at writing some more microformat GRDDL stylesheets, specifically focused on elemental microformats. hResume, for instance, looks like a nice challenge. What would help would be if microformats.org could give some URI-space to hold some official profile URIs, like: http://profiles.microformats.org/ (for all) http://profiles.microformats.org/hcard http://profiles.microformats.org/hcalendar http://profiles.microformats.org/xfn etc. These would just be simple pages written in valid XHTML 1.0, containing a link in the head to the relevant transformation and a link in the body to the relevant specification page on the wiki. -- Tom Morris http://tommorris.org/ _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
