Motivation

Why are we doing this? Do we want to trick innocent microformats users into using RDFa?

Naaah, as for me, I'm not an RDFanatic, but I admit I'm RDFaddicted. It is a very powerful and elegant way of embedding your metadata in HTML allowing you to use your own vocabulary and mix-in widely deployed vocabualries such as FOAF, Dublin Core, SIOC, vCard, etc.

Here, we assume that you have been using microformats for a while now and may peradventure be interested in RDFa. For whatever reason. This page intends to give you a quick-start in using RDFa. Enjoy!

General Remarks

XML namespaces

XML namespaces ...

URIs

When you talking about things you need to somehow refer to them (aliases: name, address, identify something etc.). We use URIs, more specifically HTTP URIs, to name things on the Web. Such a things could be an actual resource on the Web such as an image or this HTML document; it could also be a thing which is not accessible on the Web (in W3C terminology this is a non-information resource; forget about it) for example a person, a building, a region or even an abstract concept like love or war.

HTML, XHTML 1.x, XHTML 2
