I am still thinking about how to use RDFa and microformats ... even while I am here in Orlando at BarCamp...

I see there are Structured Blogging plugins for Movable Type and WordPress that in Drupal terms are new content types that allow you to create things like contacts, events, reviews using Microformats including:

hCard
hCalendar
hReview
relLicense
relTag
XFN
XOXO

Good Idea make it easy for the end user to do this stuff ... please!

In my blog posts will I add special semantic / RDFa / microformat tags? well maybe I will when I better understand it -- I do type my html "raw"... so whats a few more attributes.

Drupal folks take note .... there is a new WordPress Plugin that uses SPARQL and FOAF to retrive a persons profile from an external source!!

Jack Bauer hCard+RDFa Example -- not really from Jack but it's a good example...by Toby Inkster who seems pretty interesting.

weborganics has some good ideas forwarding the work of Mark Birbeck

I am trying to create some basic pages that have embedded RDFa that look good in webpages. It has been slow going since I don't have much time for this stuff ... and finding examples is tough.

While wasting time on twitter.com markbirbeck gave me some good links.

Posts on my blog about RDFa

Triplify Configuration for Drupal with example CCK content type

The big news at Drupalcon Boston was that in Version 7 drupal is moving to the semantic web.

This has been an interesting topic that I have really wanted to better understand. So now I have a reason to try to learn what this RDF / microformats crazy cool stuff is.

So far I am learning that it is still "complicated" but I am going to keep reading these documents over and over...

RDFa Primer I found this to be understandable mostly.
