Comments on: Bibleref and RDFa http://semanticbible.com/blogos/2008/03/24/bibleref-and-rdfa/ God's Word | our words | meaning, communication, & technology | following Jesus, the Word made flesh Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:24:32 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Ryan Riley http://semanticbible.com/blogos/2008/03/24/bibleref-and-rdfa/comment-page-1/#comment-18291 Ryan Riley Thu, 24 Apr 2008 04:17:58 +0000 http://semanticbible.com/blogos/2008/03/24/bibleref-and-rdfa/#comment-18291 I agree with your final assessment. While BibleRef (and indeed all microformats) is really easy to use <em>now</em>, if mainstream search providers are going to have trouble implementing new ones and therefore stick to RDFa, it makes most sense to create an RDFa version of BibleRef. I keep wondering how difficult it would be to create a method for converting any microformat to RDFa (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRDDL" title="GRDDL" rel="nofollow"><acronym title="Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages">GRDDL</acronym></a> and the proposed <a href="http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1346366.1346691&coll=&dl=GUIDE" title="hGRDDL" rel="nofollow">hGRDDL</a>). On another note, besides RefTagger, what is Logos planning for the semantic web? I've been a Logos user for several years, and it seems this is a natural fit for the work they've been doing.
