Call for Review: RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing Proposed Recommendation

Submitted by Administrator on Sun, 09/07/2008 - 18:00

Call for Review: RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing Proposed Recommendation - 2008-09-04: The Semantic Web Deployment Working Group and XHTML2 Working Group have published the Proposed Recommendation of RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing. The modern Web is made up of an enormous number of documents that have been created using HTML. These documents contain significant amounts of structured data, which is largely unavailable to tools and applications. When publishers can express this data more completely, and when tools can read it, a new world of user functionality becomes available, letting users transfer structured data between applications and web sites, and allowing browsing applications to improve the user experience. RDFa is a specification for attributes to express structured data in any markup language. The group has published an implementation report as part of the Candidate Recommendation phase. Comments are welcome through 03 October. Learn more about the Semantic Web. (Permalink) [W3C News]

Botnets activity saw sudden, unexplained surge over summer - There's no sign of a new major phishing scheme or email-based malware assault, but that hasn't stopped the total number of botnet-controlled systems from ballooning over the summer.
