How ? – RDFa

How ? – RDFa RDFa (cf. http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/ ) is a concrete syntax (serialisation) for RDF using (HTML) attributes interpreting @href, @resource, @instanceof, @rel, @rev, @property, @about, @content (just as microformats do) but based on and representing the RDF graph model , the Semantic Web core data model

ramm.x – Vocabulary

ramm.x – Example This still image contains embedded Exif metadata. Using the RDFizer service http://www.kanzaki.com/test/exif2rdf , an RDF/XML representation of the Exif metadata ( exif_example.rdf ) can be obtained. Aim : Deploy the Exif metadata with ramm.x in an XHTML document Result : exif_example.html

ramm.x – Example <div about=&quot; #exif_formal&quot; href=&quot; ramm:Formalisation &quot; rel=&quot;rdf:type&quot;> <span rel=&quot; ramm:schemaURI &quot; href=&quot;http://www.kanzaki.com/ns/exif&quot; /> <span rel=&quot; ramm:toRDF &quot; href=&quot;http://www.kanzaki.com/test/exif2rdf&quot; /> </div> <div about=&quot; #sample_mad &quot; href=&quot; ramm:MediaAssetDescription &quot; rel=&quot;rdf:type&quot;> <span about=&quot;http://sw.joanneum.at/rammx/spec/example/exif_example.jpg&quot; href=&quot; ramm:MediaAsset &quot; rel=&quot;rdf:type&quot;> <img src=&quot; http :// sw.joanneum.at / rammx / spec / example / exif_example.jpg “ alt=&quot;An example still image.&quot; style=&quot;border: solid black 1px;&quot; /> <span rel=&quot; ramm:hasDescription &quot; href=&quot; #sample_mad &quot; /> <p property=&quot;dc:title&quot; datatype=&quot;xsd:string&quot;>An example still image.</p> </span> <span property=&quot;dcterms:created&quot; content=&quot;2007-07-22T22:23:00Z„ datatype=&quot;xsd:date&quot; /> <span rel=&quot; ramm:nativeDescription “ href=&quot; http :// sw.joanneum.at / rammx / spec / example / exif_example.jpg &quot; /> <span rel=&quot; ramm:using &quot; href=&quot; #exif_formal &quot; /> </div>

What is ramm.x NOT? Another RDF-based multimedia description vocabulary, as, e.g., hAudio RDFa ; A declarative vocabulary – just as other standards ( SPARQL , GRDDL , etc.) standardise not only a vocabulary, but also behaviour, or put in other words: operational semantics. Hence, classes and properties are defined along with their procedural impact; A replacement for other technologies, nor can it exist on its own; it always needs a host language, e.g., (X)HTML, SMILE, SVG, etc. due to its dependency on RDFa.
