It may be a slightly larger hammer than necessary, but it's one that is
already part of the RDF processing chain, so we get it for close to free
instead of burdening RDFa processing with another entirely different
technology.
a simpler approach may be to re-use XMDP profiles to define your vocab?
Simpler in terms of vocabulary definition syntax... maybe a little bit.
But this approach has the same problem as Mark's approach, which is that
you cannot get any triples until you dereference the vocab,
Can you get ant triples without dereferencing the vocab the way you
have proposed? I would like to see an example?
so you can't
even draw local conclusions, i.e. within a given web site, without
hacking up your own special kind of triple store.
Well I don't know about that... suppose you used the google vocab for
your terms.....

No dereferencing needed is there?
