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. 2007-02-21T17:27:24ZUntitled entry permalink

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. 2007-02-21T10:44:26ZUntitled entry permalink

RDFa is not our saviour yet 2007-02-21T10:29:30ZTitled entry permalink

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.

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am in preparation for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.
