Abstract

This specification defines rules and guidelines for adapting the RDFa Core 1.1 specification for use in HTML5 and XHTML5. The rules defined in this specification not only apply to HTML5 documents in non-XML and XML mode, but also to HTML4 and XHTML documents interpreted through the HTML5 parsing rules.

Status of This Document

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/.

There are a few substantive differences between this version and its predecessor, including:

  1. Removal of the decentralized extensibility issue markers - web developers are going to use xmlns: in HTML5 documents, the rules need to be clear in the cases where this happens.
  2. Added DOM Level 1 prefix mapping algorithm.
  3. Added backwards-compatibility section for xmlns:.

The latest stable version of the editor's draft of this specification is always available on the W3C CVS server .

This specification has been jointly developed by the RDFa Working Group and the HTML Working Group and is currently being published by the HTML Working Group to further discussions on HTML and RDFa integration.

This specification is an extension to the HTML5 language. All normative content in the HTML5 specification, unless specifically overridden by this specification, is intended to be the basis for this specification.

A sample test harness is available. This set of tests is not intended to be exhaustive. Users may find the tests to be useful examples of RDFa usage. A community-maintained Wiki page includes subsequent updates.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This section is non-normative.

Today's web is built predominantly for human consumption. readers. Even as machine-readable data begins to permeate the web, it is typically distributed in a separate file, with a separate format, and very limited correspondence between the human and machine versions. As a result, web browsers can provide only minimal assistance to humans in parsing and processing web data: pages: browsers only see presentation information. RDFa is intended to solve the problem of marking up machine-readable data in HTML documents. RDFa provides a set of HTML attributes to augment visual data with machine-readable hints. Using RDFa, authors may turn their existing human-visible text and links into machine-readable data without repeating content.

2. Conformance

As well as sections marked as non-normative, all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.

The key words must , must not , required , should , should not , recommended , may , and optional in this specification are to be interpreted as described in [ RFC2119 ].

2.1 Document Conformance

In order for a document to claim that it is a conforming HTML+RDFa document, it must provide the facilities described as mandatory in this section. The document conformance criteria are listed below, of which only a subset are mandatory:

An example of a conforming HTML+RDFa document:

<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Example Document</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>This website is <a href="http://example.org/">example.org</a>.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Non-XML mode HTML+RDFa 1.1 documents should be labeled with the Internet Media Type "text/html" as defined in [ RFC3236 ].

2.2 RDFa Processor Conformance

The RDFa Processor conformance criteria are listed below, all of which are mandatory:

2.3 User Agent Conformance

A User Agent is considered to be a type of RDFa Processor when the User Agent stores or processes RDFa attributes and their values. The reason there are separate RDFa Processor Conformance and a User Agent Conformance sections is because one can be a valid HTML5 RDFa Processor but not a valid HTML5 User Agent (for example, by only providing a very small subset of rendering functionality).

The User Agent conformance criteria are listed below, all of which are mandatory:

3. Extensions to RDFa Core 1.1

The RDFa Core 1.1 [ RDFA-CORE ] specification is the base document on which this specification builds. RDFa Core 1.1 specifies the attributes and syntax, in Section 5: Attributes and Syntax , and processing model, in Section 7: Processing Model , for extracting RDF from a Web document. This section specifies changes to the attributes and processing model defined in RDFa Core 1.1 in order to support extracting RDF from HTML documents.

The requirements and rules, as specified in RDFa Core and further extended in this document, apply to all HTML5 documents. The RDFa Processor operating on HTML and XHTML documents, specifically the resulting DOMs or Infosets, must apply the same processing rules for HTML4, HTML5 and XHTML5 serializations, DOMs and/or Infosets.

3.1 Additional RDFa Processing Rules

Documents conforming to the rules in this specification are processed according to [ RDFA-CORE ] with the following extensions:

The version attribute is not supported in HTML5 and is non-conforming. However, if an HTML+RDFa document contains the version attribute on the html element, a conforming RDFa Processor must examine the value of this attribute. If the value matches that of a defined version of RDFa, then the processing rules for that version must be used. If the value does not match a defined version, or there is no version attribute, then the processing rules for the most recent version of RDFa 1.1 must be used.

3.2 Modifying the Input Document

RDFa's tree-based processing rules, outlined in Section 7.5: Sequence of the RDFa Core 1.1 specification [ RDFA-CORE ], allow an input document to be automatically corrected, cleaned-up, re-arranged, or modified in any way that is approved by the host language prior to processing. Element nesting issues in HTML documents should be corrected before the input document is translated into the DOM, a valid tree-based model, on which the RDFa processing rules will operate.

Any mechanism that generates a data structure equivalent to the HTML5 or XHTML5 DOM, such as the html5lib library, may be used as the mechanism to construct the tree-based model provided as input to the RDFa processing rules.

3.3 Specifying the language for a literal

RDFa Core 1.1 allows for the current language to be specified by the Host Language. In order for RDFa Processors to conform to this specification, they must use the mechanism described in The lang and xml:lang attributes section of the [ HTML5 ] specification to determine the language of a node.

If an author is editing an HTML fragment and is unsure of the final encapsulating MIME type for their markup, it is suggested that the author specify both lang and xml:lang where the value in both attributes is exactly the same.

3.4 Invalid XMLLiteral values

When generating literals of type XMLLiteral, the processor must ensure that the output XMLLiteral is a namespace well-formed XML fragment. A namespace well-formed XML fragment has the following properties:

An RDFa Processor that transforms the XML fragment must use the Coercing an HTML DOM into an Infoset algorithm, as specified in the HTML5 specification, followed by the algorithm defined in the Serializing XHTML Fragments section of the HTML5 specification. If an error or exception occurs at any point during the transformation, the triple containing the XMLLiteral must not be generated.

Transformation to a namespace well-formed XML fragment is required because an application that consumes XMLLiteral data expects that data to be a namespace well-formed XML fragment.

The transformation requirement does not apply to input data that are text-only, such as literals that contain a datatype attribute with an empty value ( "" ), or input data that that contain only text nodes.

An example transformation demonstrating the preservation of namespace values is provided below. The → symbol is used to denote that the line is a continuation of the previous line and is included purely for the purposes of readability:

<p xmlns:ex="http://example.org/vocab#" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
 Two rectangles (the example markup for them are stored in a triple):
 <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" property="ex:markup" datatype="rdf:XMLLiteral">
 →<rect width="300" height="100" style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);stroke-width:1; stroke:rgb(0,0,0)"></rect>
 →<rect width="50" height="50" style="fill:rgb(255,0,0);stroke-width:2;stroke:rgb(0,0,0)"></rect></svg>
</p>

The markup above should produce the following triple, which preserves the xmlns declaration in the markup by injecting the xmlns attribute in the rect elements:

<>
   <http://example.org/vocab#markup>
      "<rect xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" width=\"300\" 
→height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(0,0,255);stroke-width:1; stroke:rgb(0,0,0)\"/>
→<rect xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" width=\"50\" 
→height=\"50\" style=\"fill:rgb(255,0,0);stroke-width:2; 
→stroke:rgb(0,0,0)\"/>"^^http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#XMLLiteral
.

Since the ex and rdf namespaces are not used in either rect element, they are not preserved in the XMLLiteral.

Similarly, compound document elements that reside in different namespaces must have their namespaces declarations preserved:

<p xmlns:ex="http://example.org/vocab#"
   xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
   <span class="hilite">xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"</span>

   xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
   xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
 This is how you markup a user in FBML:
 <span property="ex:markup" datatype="rdf:XMLLiteral">
→<p><fb:user uid="12345">The User</fb:user></p>
→</span>
</p>

The markup above should produce the following triple, which preserves the fb namespace in the corresponding triple:

<>
   <http://example.org/vocab#markup>
      "<p xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
→<fb:user uid="12345">
→</p>"^^http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#XMLLiteral
.

4. Extensions to the HTML5 Syntax

There are a few attributes that are added as extensions to the HTML5 syntax in order to fully support RDFa:

5. Backwards Compatibility

RDFa Core 1.1 deprecates the usage of xmlns: in RDFa 1.1 documents. Web page authors should not use xmlns: to express prefix mappings in RDFa 1.1 documents. Web page authors should use the prefix attribute to specify prefix mappings.

However, there are times when XHTML+RDFa 1.0 documents are served by web servers using the text/html MIMEType. In these instances, the HTML5 specification asserts that the document is processed according to the non-XML mode HTML5 processing rules. In these particular cases, it is important that the prefixes declared via xmlns: are preserved for the RDFa processors to ensure backwards-compatibility with RDFa 1.0 documents. The following sections detail the backwards compatibility details for RDFa processor implementations.

3.5 5.1 xmlns: -Prefixed Attributes

The RDFa Core 1.1 [ RDFA-CORE ] specification effectively deprecates the use of the xmlns: mechanism to declare CURIE prefix mappings in favor of the prefix attribute. While utilizing xmlns: is now frowned upon, there are instances where it is unavoidable - such as publishing legacy documents as HTML5 or supporting older XHTML+RDFa 1.0 documents that rely on the xmlns: attribute.

CURIE prefix mappings specified using attributes prepended with xmlns: must be processed using the algorithm defined in section 4.4.1: Extracting URI Mappings from Infosets for Infoset-based processors, or section 4.5.1: Extracting URI Mappings from DOMs for DOM Level 2-based processors. For CURIE prefix mappings using the prefix attribute, Section 7.5: Sequence , step #4 must be used to process namespace values.

Since CURIE prefix mappings have been specified using xmlns: , and since HTML attribute names are case-insensitive, CURIE prefix names declared using the xmlns: attribute-name pattern xmlns:<PREFIX> ="<URI> " should be specified using only lower-case characters. For example, the text " xmlns: " and the text in "<PREFIX> " should be lower-case only. This is to ensure that prefix mappings are interpreted in the same way between HTML (case-insensitive attribute names) and XHTML (case-sensitive attribute names) document types. 4. Extensions to the HTML5 Syntax There are a few extensions to the HTML5 specification that are required in order to fully support RDFa. The following sub-sections outline the necessary extensions to the base HTML5 specification. pattern xmlns:="" should be specified using only lower-case characters. For example, the text "xmlns:" and the text in "" should be lower-case only. This is to ensure that prefix mappings are interpreted in the same way between HTML (case-insensitive attribute names) and XHTML (case-sensitive attribute names) document types.

4.1 The RDFa Attributes and Valid Values All RDFa attributes and valid values (including CURIEs), as listed in Section 2.1: The RDFa Attributes , are conforming when used in an HTML4, HTML5 or XHTML5 document.

5.2 Conformance Criteria for xmlns:-Prefixed Attributes

4.2 Conformance Criteria for xmlns: -Prefixed Attributes Since RDFa documents may contain attributes starting with xmlns: to specify CURIE prefixes, any attribute starting with a case-insensitive match on the text string " xmlns: " must be preserved in the DOM or other tree-like model that is passed to the RDFa Processor. For documents conforming to this specification, attributes with names that have a case insensitive prefix matching " xmlns: " must be considered conforming. Conformance checkers must accept attribute names that have a case insensitive prefix matching " xmlns: " as conforming. All attributes starting with a case insensitive prefix matching " xmlns: " must conform to the production rules outlined in Namespaces in XML [

Since RDFa 1.0 documents may contain attributes starting with xmlns: to specify CURIE prefixes, any attribute starting with a case-insensitive match on the text string "xmlns:" must be preserved in the DOM or other tree-like model that is passed to the RDFa Processor. For documents conforming to this specification, attributes with names that have a case insensitive prefix matching "xmlns:" must be considered conforming. Conformance checkers must accept attribute names that have a case insensitive prefix matching "xmlns:" as conforming. Conformance checkers should generate warnings noting that the use of xmlns: is deprecated.

All attributes starting with a case insensitive prefix matching "xmlns:" must conform to the production rules outlined in Namespaces in XML [XML-NAMES11], Section 3: Declaring Namespaces. Documents that contain xmlns: attributes that do not conform to Namespaces in XML must not be accepted as conforming.

XML-NAMES11

5.3 Preserving Namespaces via Coercion to Infoset

], Section 3: Declaring Namespaces . Documents that contain xmlns: attributes that do not conform to Namespaces in XML must not be accepted as conforming.

This section needs feedback from the user agent vendors to ensure that this feature does not conflict with user agent architecture and has no technical reason that it cannot be implemented.

4.3 Preserving Namespaces via Coercion to Infoset This section needs feedback from the user agent vendors to ensure that this feature does not conflict with user agent architecture and has no technical reason that it cannot be implemented. RDFa documents may contain the xmlns: pattern to declare prefix mappings, it is important that namespace information that is declared in non-XML mode HTML5 documents are mapped to an Infoset correctly. In order to ensure this mapping is performed correctly, the "Coercing an HTML DOM into an infoset" rules defined in [

RDFa 1.0 documents may contain the xmlns: pattern to declare prefix mappings, it is important that namespace information that is declared in non-XML mode HTML5 documents are mapped to an Infoset correctly. In order to ensure this mapping is performed correctly, the "Coercing an HTML DOM into an infoset" rules defined in [HTML5] must be extended to include the following rule:

HTML5

If the XML API is namespace-aware, the tool must ensure that ([namespace name], [local name], [normalized value]) namespace tuples are created when converting the non-XML mode DOM into an Infoset. Given a standard xmlns: definition, xmlns:foo="http://example.org/bar#", the [namespace name] is http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/, the [local name] is foo, and the [normalized value] is http://example.org/bar#, thus the namespace tuple would be (http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/, foo, http://example.org/bar#).

] must be extended to include the following rule: If the XML API is namespace-aware, the tool must ensure that ([ namespace name ], [ local name ], [ normalized value ]) namespace tuples are created when converting the non-XML mode DOM into an Infoset. Given a standard xmlns: definition, xmlns:foo="http://example.org/bar#" , the [namespace name] is http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/ , the [local name] is foo , and the [normalized value] is http://example.org/bar# , thus the namespace tuple would be ( http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/ , foo , http://example.org/bar# ). For example, given the following input text:

For example, given the following input text:

<div
xmlns:com="http://purl.org/commerce#">

The div element above, when coerced from an HTML DOM into an Infoset, should contain an attribute in the [ namespace attributes ] list with a [namespace name] set to " http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/ ", a [local name] set to com , and a [normalized value] of " http://purl.org/commerce# ".

4.4 5.4 Infoset-based Processors

While the intent of the RDFa processing instructions were are to provide a set of rules that are as language and toolchain agnostic as possible, for the sake of clarity, detailed methods of extracting RDFa content from processors operating on an XML Information Set are provided below.

4.4.1 5.4.1 Extracting URI Mappings from Infosets

Extracting URI Mappings declared via xmlns: while operating from within an Infoset-based RDFa processor can be achieved using the following algorithm:

While processing an element as described in [ RDFA-CORE ], Section 7.5: Sequence , Step #2:

  1. For each attribute in the [ namespace attributes ] list that has a [ prefix ] value, create a [ URI mapping ] by storing the [prefix] as the value to be mapped, and the [ normalized value ] as the value to map.
  2. For each attribute in the [ attributes ] list that has no value for [ prefix ] and a [ local name ] that starts with xmlns: , create a [ URI mapping ] by storing the [local name] part with the xmlns: characters removed as the value to be mapped, and the [ normalized value ] as the value to map.

    This step is unnecessary if the Infoset coercion rules preserve namespaces specified in non-XML mode.

For example, assume that the following markup is processed by an Infoset-based RDFa processor:

<div
xmlns:audio="http://purl.org/media/audio#"
...

After the markup is processed, there should exist a [URI mapping] in the [local list of URI mappings] that contains a mapping from audio to http://purl.org/media/audio# .

4.4.2 5.4.2 Processing RDFa Attributes

There are a number of non-prefixed attributes that are associated with RDFa Processing in HTML5. If an XML Information Set based RDFa processor is used to process these attributes, the following algorithm should be used to detect and extract the values of the attributes.

While processing Infoset Attribute Information Items in Element Information Items as described in [ RDFA-CORE ], Section 7.5: Sequence , Step #4 through Step #9:

  1. For each Attribute Information Item specific to RDFa in the Infoset [ attributes ] list that has a [ prefix ] with no value, extract and use the [ normalized value ].

4.5 5.5 DOM Level 1 and Level 2-based Processors

This mechanism should be double-checked against all of the RDFa Javascript implementations to ensure correctness.

Most DOM-aware RDFa Processors are capable of accessing DOM Level 1 [ DOM-LEVEL-1 ] methods to process attributes on elements. To discover all xmlns: -specified CURIE prefix mappings, the Node.attributes NamedNodeMap can be iterated over. Each Attr.name that starts with the text string xmlns: specifies a CURIE prefix mapping. The value to be mapped is the string after the xmlns: substring in the Attr.name variable and the value to be mapped is the value of the Attr.value variable.

The intent of the RDFa processing instructions are to provide a set of rules that are as language and toolchain agnostic as possible. If a developer chooses to not use the DOM1 environment mechanism outlined in the previous paragraph, they may use the following DOM2 [ DOM-LEVEL-2-CORE ] environment mechanism.

4.5.1 5.5.1 Extracting URI Mappings via DOM Level 2

Extracting URI Mappings declared via xmlns: while operating from within a DOM Level 2 based RDFa processor can be achieved using the following algorithm:

While processing each DOM2 [ Element ] as described in [ RDFA-CORE ], Section 7.5: Sequence , Step #2:

  1. For each [ Attr ] in the [ Node.attributes ] list that has a [ namespace prefix ] value of xmlns , create a [ URI mapping ] by storing the [ local name ] as the value to be mapped, and the [ Node.nodeValue ] as the value to map.
  2. For each [ Attr ] in the [ Node.attributes ] list that has a [ namespace prefix ] value of null and a [ local name ] that starts with xmlns: , create a [ URI mapping ] by storing the [local name] part with the xmlns: characters removed as the value to be mapped, and the [ Node.nodeValue ] as the value to map.

    This step is unnecessary if the XML and non-XML mode DOMs are namespace consistent.

For example, assume that the following markup is processed by a DOM2-based RDFa processor:

<div
xmlns:com="http://purl.org/commerce#"
...

After the markup is processed, there should exist a [URI mapping] in the [local list of URI mappings] that contains a mapping from com to http://purl.org/commerce# .

4.5.2 5.5.2 Processing RDFa Attributes

There are a number of non-prefixed attributes that are associated with RDFa processing in HTML5. If an DOM2-based RDFa processor is used to process these attributes, the following algorithm should be used to detect and extract the values of the attributes.

While processing an element as described in [ RDFA-CORE ], Section 5.5: Sequence , Step #4 through Step #9:

  1. For each RDFa attribute in the [ Node.attributes ] list that has a [ namespace prefix ] that is null, extract and use [ Node.nodeValue ] as the value.

A. Validation

Documents written using the markup language defined in this specification may be validated using the DTD defined in this section. If a document author wants to facilitate such validation, they may include the following declaration at the top of their document:

 The BORDER attribute sets the thickness of the frame around the
 table. The default units are screen pixels.
 The FRAME attribute specifies which parts of the frame around
 the table should be rendered. The values are not the same as
 CALS to avoid a name clash with the VALIGN attribute.
 The value "border" is included for backwards compatibility with
 <TABLE BORDER> which yields frame=border and border=implied
 For <TABLE BORDER=1> you get border=1 and frame=implied. In this
 case, it is appropriate to treat this as frame=border for backwards
 compatibility with deployed browsers.

B. About this Document

B.1 History

This section is non-normative.

In early 2004, Mark Birbeck published a document named "RDF in XHTML" via the XHTML2 Working Group wherein he laid the groundwork for what would eventually become RDFa (The Resource Description Framework in Attributes).

In 2006, the work was co-sponsored by the Semantic Web Deployment Work Group, which began to formalize a technology to express semantic data in XHTML. This technology was successfully developed and reached consensus at the W3C, later published as an official W3C Recommendation. While HTML provides a mechanism to express the structure of a document (title, paragraphs, links), RDFa provides a mechanism to express the meaning in a document (people, places, events).

The document, titled "RDF in XHTML: Syntax and Processing" [XHTML-RDFA], defined a set of attributes and rules for processing those attributes that resulted in the output of machine-readable semantic data. While the document applied to XHTML, the attributes and rules were always intended to operate across any tree-based structure containing attributes on tree nodes (such as HTML4, SVG and ODF).

While RDFa was initially specified for use in XHTML, adoption by a number of large organizations on the Web spurred RDFa's use in non-XHTML languages. Its use in HTML4, before an official specification was developed for those languages, caused concern regarding document conformance.

Over the years, the members of the RDFa Task Force had discussed the possibility of applying the same attributes and processing rules outlined in the XHTML+RDFa specification to all HTML family documents. By design, the possibility of a unified semantic data expression mechanism between all HTML and XHTML family documents was squarely in the realm of possibility.

An RDFa Working Group was created in 2010 to address the issues concerning multiple language implementations of RDFa. The XHTML+RDFa document was split into a base specification, called RDFa Core 1.1 [ RDFA-CORE ], and thin specifications that layer above RDFa Core 1.1. The XHTML+RDFa 1.1 specification [ XHTML-RDFA ] is an example of such a thin specification. This document, also a thin specification, is targeted at HTML4, HTML5 and XHTML5.

This document describes the extensions to the RDFa Core 1.1 specification that permits the use of RDFa in all HTML family documents. By using the attributes and processing rules described in the RDFa Core 1.1 specification and heeding the minor changes in this document, authors can generate markup that produces the same semantic data output in HTML4, HTML5 and XHTML5.

B.2 Change History

This section is non-normative.

2009-10-15: First version of the RDFa for HTML4, HTML5 and XHTML5.

2010-03-04: Updated HTML5 coercion to Infoset rules, preservation of namespaces in Infoset and DOM2-based processors, clarifying how to extract RDFa attributes via Infoset, how to extract RDFa attributes via DOM2.

2010-05-02: Inheritance of basic processing rules from RDFa 1.1 [ RDFA-CORE ], instead of XHTML+RDFa 1.0 [ RDFA-SYNTAX ], inclusion of the HTML Default Vocabulary Terms, inclusion of a HTML 4.01 + RDFa 1.1 DTD for validation purposes.

2010-06-24: Inheritance of basic processing rules from RDFa 1.1 [ RDFA-CORE ], instead of XHTML+RDFa 1.0 [ RDFA-SYNTAX ], inclusion of the HTML Default Vocabulary Terms, added HTML 4.01 + RDFa 1.1 DTD for validation purposes, added normative definition of @version attribute.

2010-10-19: Removal of @version attribute, migrated HTML Vocabulary Terms to RDFa Profile document, added statement to send comments to the HTML WG bug tracker.

2011-01-11: Removed decentralized extensibility issue markers, added DOM Level 1 prefix mapping extraction algorithm.

2011-04-05: Moved all xmlns: rules into a section titled Backwards Compatibility and brought spec in-line with latest RDFa Core 1.1 spec.
