Embeding RDF in XHTML - .NET Framework

Mark Watson

While converting my main web site opening page to
XHTML yesterday, I was a little shocked to find out
that there is no standard way to embed RDF directly
in XHTML and still have XHTML validate.

I saw some good ideas that involved linking, but without
a standard, how are RDF spiders to find the RDF on the web?

I ended up putting comment tags around my RDF (yuck!).
At least my RDF spider peeks inside comments, but other
people would probably miss it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

FWIW, I tend to use seperate files for the RDF and the HTML. My
homepage links to a seperate RDF description. It's not perfect
either but perhaps slightly less yucky than using comment tags.

Hello Jeen,

I checked out your site. I see that you are a Sesame developer - Sesame
is very cool!

I think that I might use your approach and also my approach.

The problem with linking to RDF is that there is no
standard so RDF spiders can not find linked RDF.

Thanks,
Mark

Heh, thanks, glad you like it.

On a tangent: are you developing your own RDF spider or are you
using existing software? I'm thinking about setting up an
experiment involving spidering myself, so if you have any
pointers I would appreciate it.

Hi, I am embeding my SVG Files in HTML in this way: <OBJECT DATA="foo.svg" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="200" TYPE="image/svg+xml"> (using Acrobat SVG Viewer) Since I create the SVG dynamicaly the WIDTH and HEIGHT is unknown, when loading the HTML page. Can I embed SVG like I can do it with images without defining WIDTH and HEIGHT. Simply "oversize" both attributes unnecessarily produces scrollbars in the browser window.

XHTML Problems

by: jp29 | last post by:

My take on problems composing, serving and rendering XHTML documents/web pages: 1. Typical conscientious web authors are producing XHTML documents (Web pages) that feature valid Markup and with the content (MIME) type specified as text/html (http://keystonewebsites.com/articles/mime_type.php). These pages are then loaded on to their Server where they are served to Rendering Agents (browsers) as HTML (SGML application) documents with no...

XHTML 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.0

by: Buford Early | last post by:

I read this in http://annevankesteren.nl/2004/12/xhtml-notes "A common misconception is that XHTML 1.1 is the latest version of the XHTML series. And although it was released a bit more than a year later then the first version of XHTML 1.0, the second edition is actually newer. Furthermore, XHTML 1.1 is not really the follow-up of XHTML 1.0" I thought that XHTML 1.1 was the follow-up to XHTML 1.0 and that XHTML 2.0 will someday be the...

How can I make an XHTML-compliant form of an expression in this format: document.write("<scr"+"ipt type='text/javascript' src='path/to/file.js'>"+"</scr"+"ipt>"); this turns out to be a non-trivial exercise. inserting '<' and '>' causes the browser to write the text to the page as literal text rather than as the intended script element.
