I can see no way for scientific journals to include RDFa information in HTML because they usually do not use HTML as a primary medium. They have their own established ways to express information about published content; their HTML counterpart, if any, should use HTML+CSS to do it the same way. The gain from including license information about bibliographic references is actually a loss (of clarity) to me. This information should be available where the referenced publication appears, not where it is referenced. Chris

You see no value at all in scientific journals marking up authors, paper titles, MESH tags (for life sciences), review status, license etc...? And you don't see a value in doing so in, say, a page that lists 10 related papers? -Ben
