Just to be clear - I'm not trying to propose that wikipedia editors should start writing wiki markup interleaved with RDFa/Microdata. Quite the opposite - I think that allowing contributors to hand author RDFa or Microdata would be a very bad idea for Wikipedia. However, it seems like what you are saying is that interleaving HTML like this is not possible anyway - which is a good thing, IMHO. > Perhaps we shouldn't provide the full power of RDF or Microdata yet, > and provide instead a extension able to handle a subset, using one or > another. XHTML1+RDFa is certainly ready for prime-time, so it would be up to this community to decide if it should go that route and put it into the core distribution or have it implemented as an extension. I think our preference would be that it is implemented as an extension first and in such a way as to make it very easy to integrate it into MediaWiki core once all of the bugs are worked out in the extension. Does anybody have a link to a previous discussion about how to get Wikipedia to output the same data that dbpedia.org is publishing?
