6. Practical Session II
Description:
Given two XHTML files, people.html and projects.html, each
student must embed both documents with RDFa. Consider
the following when doing the exercise:
- Both documents are validated XHTML documents. We have validated them
using the standard W3C Validator: http://validator.w3.org/
- Students must use standard known ontologies when annotating the documents,
such as FOAF, Dublin Core, etc.
- Students must validate their work using the standard W3C validator.
- Each student must expect to present and discuss his/her work at class.
- Final delivery must include links of the two RDFa-annotated documents.
