Comment on Our Pointless Pursuit Of Semantic Value

Comments

I have had RDF market on some of my sites for about 10 years, but was not happy with available notations until RDFa which I like.

I used to promote the idea of having parallel .rdf files, for example, index.rdf with the same base URL as index.html, etc. but with RDFa life is good enough. I still like my old idea however, but without this being a standard or at least a common practice it is not of much value.

With a decent web framework, creating a template which generates RDF from the same data source should be reasonably easy, if you know what ontologies you're targeting.

But yeah, having RDFa, there's no much point in that; clients should be able to parse the triples from it too.
