Aren't resource and typeof attributes of the <title> or <html> (not the <head>) 
?  The BBC can serve the customers or feed the Google, but not both.

Subject: rNews RDFa in BBC News
 
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
