RDF(S) in Practice
RDF/XML with XHTML


  • XHTML is still based on DTD-s (lack of entities in Schemas)
  • RDF within XHTML’s header does not validate…
  • Currently, people use
    • link/meta in the header (perfectly o.k.!)
      • using conventions instead of namespaces in metas
    • put RDF in a comment (e.g., Creative Commons)
  • XHTML 2.0 will have a separate ‘metadata’ module
    • essentially, the current meta/link elements are extended
    • one can define “triplets” using this formalism
    • in fact, a new RDF serialization… (like RDF/XML and n3)
