My new blog is here

Jeremy Keith has coverage from FOWA day one and day twoPermanent link to this item in the archive.

GetSemantic wiki has just launched. There's not much on there yet - been too busy installing it. A huge thanks to Alexander Graf for his assistance in logo design and much more. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Ben Ward has an excellent post on all things RDF and GetSemantic. It's worth reading and re-reading. Solving new and interesting problems in a user-friendly way. That's what it's all about. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

RDFa is not our saviour yet Permanent link to this item in the archive.

In response to my presentation, Mark Birbeck pointed me to this post claiming that RDFa is usable within XHTML 1.

Technically, it may be. I've written up some code based on Mark's example, using "dc:title" in a @class in a div. It validates as perfect XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

But if you use 'namespaced' classnames, you cannot style the class. You can style "dc-title", but not "dc:title". CSS compatibility is something that we should shoot for. eRDF and non-namespaced class names can be styled, RDFa class names cannot - yet.

I think RDFa is not ready for prime time yet.
