Stéphane has just posted a call for feedback on the Drupal 7 RDFa design, before the first official alpha release.
First reaction above all, is that this is great news! Very happy to see this work maturing.
I’ve tried to quickly suggest some tweaks to the vocab, by hacking his diagram in photoshop. All it really shows [...]

RDFa in Drupal 7: last call for feedback before alpha release
WOT in RDFa?
(This post is written in RDFa…)
To the best of my knowledge, Ludovic Hirlimann’s PGP fingerprint is 6EFBD26FC7A212B2E093 B9E868F358F6C139647C. You might also be interested in his photos on flickr, or his workplace, Mozilla Messaging. The GPG key details were checked over a Skype video call with me, Ludo and Kaare A. Larsen.

My ’70s Schoolin’ (in RDFa)
I went to Hamsey Green school in the 1970s.
Looking in the UK Govt datasets, I see it is listed there with a homepage of ‘http://www.hamsey-green-infant.surrey.sch.uk’ (which doesn’t seem to work).
Some queries I’m trying via the SPARQL dataset (I’ll update this post if I make them work…)
First a general query, from which I found the URL [...]

WordPress trust syndication revisited: F2F plugin
This is a followup to my Syndicating trust? Mediawiki, Wordpress and OpenID post. I now have a simple implementation that exports data from WordPress: the F2F plugin. Also some experiments with consuming aggregates of this information from multiple sources.
FOAF has always had a bias towards describing social things that are shown rather than merely [...]

Wordpress, TinyMCE and RDFa editors
I’m writing this in Wordpress’s ‘Visual’ mode WYSIWYG HTML editor, and thinking “how could it be improved to support RDFa?”
Well let’s think. Humm. In RDFa, every section of text is always ‘about’ something, and then has typed links or properties associated with that thing. So there are icons ‘B’ for bold, ‘I’ for italics, etc. [...]

Syndicating trust? Mediawiki, Wordpress and OpenID
Fancy title but simple code. A periodic update script is setting user/group membership rules on the FOAF wiki based on a list of trusted (for this purpose) OpenIDs exported from a nearby blog. If you’ve commented on the blog using OpenID and it was accepted, this means you can also perform some admin actions (page [...]
Remote remotes
I’ve just closed the loop on last weekend’s XMPP / Apple Remote hack, using Strophe.js, a library that extends XMPP into normal Web pages. I hope I’ll find some way to use this in the NoTube project (eg. wired up to Web-based video playing in OpenSocial apps), but even if not it has been a [...]

Quick clarification on SPARQL extensions and “Lock-in”
It’s clear from discussion bouncing around IRC, Twitter, Skype and elsewhere that “Lock-in” isn’t a phrase to use lightly.
So I post this to make myself absolutely clear. A few days ago I mentioned in IRC a concern that newcomers to SPARQL and RDF databases might not appreciate which SPARQL extensions are widely implemented, and which [...]

Linked TV (part 1): Why APIs and identifiers matter
In the NoTube project, we are exploring the use of Semantic Web technology in Television and Web-TV scenarios. By making use of richer and linked descriptions of content and users, we hope to help users better find (and annotate, tag, cross-link etc.) content that is interesting to them. The growing amount of linked RDF data [...]
