Jeremy Keith has coverage from FOWA day one and day two. 2007-02-21T17:34:48Z

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. 2007-02-21T17:27:24Z

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. 2007-02-21T10:44:26Z

RDFa is not our saviour yet 2007-02-21T10:29:30Z

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 vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.

I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.

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.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
