Problem statement: You shouldn’t have to “scrape” government sites.<\/p>\n

Solution: RDFa<\/p>\n

<div typeof=\"arg:Vacancy\">\r\n  Job title: <span property=\"dc:title\">Assistant Officer<\/span>\r\n  Description: <span property=\"dc:description\">To analyse... <\/span>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/pre>\n
This resolves to two full RDF triples. No separate feeds, uses existing publishing systems. Two of the most ambitious RDFa projects are taking place in the UK. Flexible arrangements possible.<\/p>\n
Steps: 1. Create vocabulary. 2. Create demo. 3. Evangelize.<\/p>\n
Vocabulary under Google Code: Argot Hub<\/a>. Reuse terms (dc:title, foaf:name) where possible, developed in public.<\/p>\n
Demos: Yahoo! SearchMonkey<\/a>, (good for helping not-so-technical people to “get it”) then a Drupal hosted one (a little more control).<\/p>\n
Next level, a new server that aggregates specific info (like all job openeings for Electricians), incuding geocoding. Ubiquity RDFa helps here.<\/p>\n
Evangelizing: Detailed tutorials. Drupal code will go open source. More opportunities with companies currently screen-scrapting. More info @ rdfa.info<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Q&A: Asking about predicate overloading (dc:title). A general SemWeb issue. Context helps. Is RDFa tied to HTML? No, SearchMonkey itself uses RDFa–it’s just attributes.<\/p>\n
