Hi Andraz and all,
This great! We were waiting for some consensus on a common tagging
format to integrate in Drupal 7 RDFa, now we have it. Perfect timing.
regards,
Stéphane.

Hi guys,
today, a small consortium of web companies and one institute
(AdaptiveBlue, DERI (NUI Galway), Faviki, Freebase, Yahoo!, Zemanta, and
Zigtag) released a format specifying expression of semantic tags so our
tools will understand/publish them.
http://commontag.org
It is RDFa based and it does not mandate specific vocabulary of meanings
for tags. DBpedia and Freebase are currently used by Zigtag, Faviki and
Zemanta.
Soon Glue browsing extension will support it too - so there's going to
be improved browsing experience as a bonus for semantically tagging the
content. We tried to build on previous experience of MOAT and others and
simplify even further, so the barrier to entry will be low as possible
(but still RDFa is not grokked by a lot of publishing platforms).
I am interested on your thoughts in this!
And if anyone wants to use this somewhere please report it, so we'll put
it under Applications page at http://commontag.org
[i'll be traveling in next few days and won't be able to answer emails
promptly, but there are guys from other organizations this list that
will]
