RDF reification and lists do *work* in RDFa, they're just a bit of a pain to mark up. e.g. here's a reification: <div xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"; xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; xmlns:db="http://dbpedia.org/resource/"; typeof="rdf:Statement"> <span property="dc:creator">Mark Birkbeck</span> says that <span rel="rdf:subject" resource="[db:Sky]">the sky</span> <span rel="rdf:predicate" resource="http://dbpedia.org/property/color"; >is</span> <span rel="rdf:object" resource="[db:Blue]">blue</span>. </div> And an example of a list can be found here: http://ontologi.es/rail/routes/gb/VTB1.xhtml -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:[email protected]> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
