Hello all
I am working with BBC News on implementing some RDFa in article pages on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news. rNews seems like the best candidate for us in
terms of expressiveness and wider adoption, so I am thinking, as a first
iteration, we will add something like this to article pages:
<head prefix="rnews: http://iptc.org/std/rNews/2011-10-07#";
resource="{published URL}"
typeof="rnews:NewsItem";>
<meta property="rnews:headline"; content="{headline}"/>
<meta property="rnews:description"; content="{description}"/>
<meta property="rnews:thumbnailUrl"; content="{thumbnail URL}"/>
<meta property="rnews:datePublished"; content="{date published}"/>
<meta property="rnews:creator"; content="<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news>"/>
…
</head>
We are currently working on an internal project to identify the
real-world concepts mentioned in our stories and associate them back
with the published article; when this is available we will add the
following:
<meta property="rnews:about"; content="{GUID for
person/place/organisation}"/>
<meta property="rnews:mentions"; content="{GUID for
person/place/organisation} "/>
Separately we will publish the BBC GUIDs we have created for
person/place/organisations with sameAs links towikidata/freebase/dbpedia.
Does anyone see any problems with this approach?
Thanks
JT
