RDF/A: embedding RDF in XHTML
By Tim Finin on Wednesday, February 1st, 2006 at 2:17 pm.The W3C’s RDF-in-HTML task force has been wrestling with the problem developing recommended ways to embed RDF content in XHTML documents. I think that this is incredibly important as many of the use cases for the Semantic Web can benefit from documents that have both human and machine readable portions. RDF-in-HTML is actually a joint task force of the Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment and HTML Working Groups. Last week, the task force released a new version of the primer on RDF/A, is a set of attributes used to embed RDF in XHTML. It’s a good document to read to get an idea of how this will work.

Why not one representation that can be read by both?

If I had to pick a universal representation, it might be natural language. Microformats is an interesting idea, but it’s not rich enough for many applications and does not have a well defined semantics. Of course, this could be an advantage!
