Short Introduction to RDFa, OWL and Microformats [LINK] 1

Posted by Justin Reagor Sun, 09 Dec 2007 18:29:00 GMT

I just started following the OntologyOnline project, and reading David Decraene’s blog.

He has an excellent post on Embedding OWL-RDFS syntax in XHTML with RDFa. It serves as a great introduction into RDFa, OWL, Microformats and “Web 3.0”. It also dives into the possibilities as to why these technologies haven’t gained much popularity in the online community. As well as whats higher up along the Microformats food chain.

I don’t like to LINK often, but when I do its for articles like this! I am on a constant battle trying to relate my web standards friends, with little Microformats knowledge, into why we need a more semantic web (and why we need to start considering these technologies).
