The two meanings of semantics in HTML5 | Lin Clark
There is a lot of confusion around HTML5 and RDFa, both in the Drupal community and outside of it. That’s why I decided to redevelop my site in Drupal 7 with HTML5 , using a base theme available on Drupal.org, to see for myself what it's like using HTML5 and RDFa together. HTML5 is the incontestable future of the Web, and it is becoming more and more clear that inline structured data is also going to be a fundamental part of the future Web... and, with the current core support for RDFa and the future core support for HTML5 , Drupal has an interest in both. The capabilities offered by HTML5—and the other standards that sometimes get conflated with it, such as CSS3—blow my mind. I’ve also been impressed by a number of the people involved in developing and evangelizing HTML5, particularly the emphasis I’ve seen on the social aspects of standards adoption/compliance and the concern for the cognitive load placed on the developer.
Ravensburg Commerce Data on the Semantic Web: Information for Developers and Researchers

Learn Linked Data | What is Linked Data?
I suspect many of our readers may already have a black belt in Linked Data, but for others it’s all new, so I thought it was worth explaining what Linked Data means to me. The definitive description is Tim Berners-Lee’s Design Issues document , but I’ll try to illustrate what this means in practice. Linked Data can be used to describe any real-world things, such as people, objects, events, observations etc. Let’s say we want to describe a unicorn (called Yuri).
DCMI Home: Dublin Core® Metadata Initiative (DCMI)
Brian Sletten & Stéphane Corlosquet: "Embedding Linked Data Invisibly into Web Pages: Strategies and Workflows for Publishing with RDFa"— 24 October 2012 The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, or "DCMI", is an open organization supporting innovation in metadata design and best practices across the metadata ecology. DCMI's activities include work on architecture and modeling , discussions and collaborative work in DCMI Communities and DCMI Task Groups , global conferences, meetings and workshops , and educational efforts to promote widespread acceptance of metadata standards and best practices. DCMI maintains a number of formal and informal liaisons and relationships with standards bodies and other metadata organizations.
Linked Data: Evolving the Web into a Global Data Space
This book gives an overview of the principles of Linked Data as well as the Web of Data that has emerged through the application of these principles. The book discusses patterns for publishing Linked Data, describes deployed Linked Data applications and examines their architecture. The World Wide Web has enabled the creation of a global information space comprising linked documents. As the Web becomes ever more enmeshed with our daily lives, there is a growing desire for direct access to raw data not currently available on the Web or bound up in hypertext documents. Linked Data provides a publishing paradigm in which not only documents, but also data, can be a first class citizen of the Web, thereby enabling the extension of the Web with a global data space based on open standards - the Web of Data.
Riding the Semweb: the Toneelstof case | Krimson
A few weeks back, we blogged about the Semantic Web and how it will gain more importance in day-to-day life. We've seen how the lack of easy-to-use tools to leverage its power is keeping it from becoming mainstream and saw how Drupal fits in the story. And so Krimson, in an effort to bring the semweb in Drupal , takes part in a Flemish government-sponsored research project called Archipel .May you live in interesting times. This ancient proverb isn't far off these days. In this last decade, the Web has become ubiquitous in our daily lives.
