More on Operator and RDFa

Gauthier Poupeau continues his work on exploring what one can do with Operator and RDFa. He now has an Operator action script that look for ISBN numbers expressed as RDFa, then links them to Amazon. He has another Operator action script that gives you a URL’s history at delicious. It’s all described in detail in French on his blog.

All of these small client-side hacks are the beginning of the most important part of the whole semantic web story: giving the user power to do things according to the semantic markup. There’s so much promise here, it’s exciting to see RDFa providing a solid basis for this kind of innovation.
