tommorris: I appreciate that Marshall is trying to get his head around SemWeb while the rest of the Web 2.0 crowd preach the 'lightweight' religion (ie. pretend a problem doesn't exist and it suddenly stops being a problem), but, by golly, this post is a mess. Telling people to add a User-Agent sniffing bunch of PHP to the top of their web pages that relies on an external API to insert pseudo-RDFa... that's not the Semantic Web I am imagining.
tommorris: Here's the result. Take a look at the markup. It's not even valid (X)HTML, and it adds all the properties within a site specific namespace, rather than reusing DC. The namespace provides RDF Schema if you go to it - but look at the URIs.
tommorris: It also reinvents GRDDL. If you are going to add mappings for your (X)HTML elements and attributes into RDF, why do it in a way that requires URI fiddling, when you can use GRDDL and follow yer nose? :)
 
 
CloCkWeR1: Now if they added in vcards for companies...
CloCkWeR1: ... we'd be able to GRDDL our way through 157362 companies, their employees, and other relevant data
CloCkWeR1: Other interesting data available: 19% of people who work at http://www.linkedin.com/companies/13165/W3C appear to be experts
