RDFa in use in Government

Over in the public HTML list, a posting by Peter Krantz caught our eye with this line:

I am working in a project right now where RDFa solves a lot of problems for over a 100 government organizations.

Nice to see RDFa gaining traction!

  1. Well, I had to clarfy to the original poster that RDFa wasn’t “an over-engineered, ivory tower spec that was developed in the hope that some killer app would eventually come along in the future to save it.”

    I guess this shows that the common knowledge of RDFa isn’t very widespread. I don’t think anyone is working on getting RDFa into HTML5 at the moment. Anyone who want to dive in and write some test cases?

  2. I’m looking for RDFa implementations in US Govt, if anyone knows any. Peter was kind enough to return a private email and explained that his govt use is in Sweden – and he thought that the US would be ahead, but I can’t find an actual use case yet! There is John McClure doing some good work at http://legal-xhtml.org but it is not in use by any actual government branch yet.
