Can we have :
<span about="http://amazon.com/ISBN:0091808189";
property="rdfs:label" class="bib:book">
Canteen Cuisine
</span>
which would give:
<http://amazon.com/ISBN:0091808189> rdf:type bib:book.
<http://amazon.com/ISBN:0091808189> rdfs:label "Canteen
Cuisine".
and to go back to my example with Ben's solution:
<div class="foaf:Person" rel="rdf:li">
some things about the person
</div>
which gives the triples :
<> rdf:li _:whatever.
_:whatever rdf:type foaf:Person.
Can we go further than that and do :
<div class="foaf:Person" rel="rdf:li" property="foaf:name">
Cédric Mesnage
</div>
or even :
<div class="foaf:Person" rel="rdf:li" property="foaf:name"
content="Cédric
Mesnage"/>
and get:
<> rdf:li _:whatever.
_:whatever rdf:type foaf:Person.
_:whatever foaf:name "Cédric Mesnage".

Hi Ben/Cédric,
[I'm not proposing a resolution to this question in this version of
RDFa, but I think it's useful to collect use-cases.]
I had a use-case the other day that is related to the ones you are
describing. Essentially the question we all seem to be converging on
is what is the minimum amount of mark-up that should give us a
triple?
So, the following feels quite natural, as a way of marking up the
mention of something like a book in my blog:
Today I bought a copy of
<span about="urn:ISBN:0091808189" class="bib:book">
Canteen Cuisine
</span>
from my local bookshop.
Since my system uses the URI to retrieve some data about the book
from
a book site like Amazon, I don't actually need any further triples
like title, price, publisher, author, or whatever. But there is a an
interesting question as to whether the following should be enough to
get an entry in the triple store:
<span about="urn:ISBN:0091808189">
Canteen Cuisine
</span>
The system could still do the same thing, and retrieve additional
triples based on the resource, but the question is what are the
parsing rules that get from this mark-up to a triple?
The only way I can think of to achieve this from the mark-up I've
shown is be automatically generate labels from the content of
elements. The mark-up would therefore generate this:
<urn:ISBN:0091808189> rdfs:label "Canteen Cuisine" .
and we would now have the URI for the book in our triple-store, and
can make use of it to retrieve further information.
Regards,
Mark

Cedric,
This is an interesting question. I had to deal with this with the
RDFa
clipboard [1], and I chose to use the predicate rel="rdf:li" on any
bnode I wanted to appear on the page, effectively saying "this
bnode is
an item of the current page." For example, in your code below:
<span class="foaf:Person" rel="rdf:li">
some things about the person
</span>
which yields:
<> rdf:li
[a foaf:Person; ...things about the person...]
I'm pretty sure this is not a "best practice", but it's the work-
around
I came up with for precisely this issue, and it's not all that
wrong in
terms of semantics: after all, that *is* an item on the page.
