Welcome to the RDFa community! A place where you can learn about RDFa, get help on implementing RDFa on your website or blog, and take part in the development of the community and the standard!

RDFa helps bloggers and website authors make their web pages smarter by adding computer-readable information to a site. Details about yourself, events, places, books, and music are just some of the "things" you can describe using RDFa. By adding RDFa to your website or blog, you help computers interact with your website in a way that is more helpful to people visiting your site. RDFa makes web browsers smarter by giving people more options when viewing a web page, such as adding you to their address book, adding an event to their calendar, getting directions to a place described by RDFa, or searching online bookstores for a book marked up using RDFa. There are many possibilities with RDFa and this community is dedicated to RDFa education, development, and advocacy.
