[rdfweb-dev] fwd: GRDDL profile moving to friendlier address

[Dan Brickley]

Forwarding (below) an update from DanC on the GRDDL work.

This is some welcome progress on the RDF-in-XHTML front. The 
GRDDL spec explains how to cite an XSLT from an XHTML Web page to 
transform the markup into RDF/XML. There are 
examples, a spec and other notes at 
http://www.w3.org/2003/g/data-view including 
an example home page for (the fictional) Joe Lambda, which 
uses DC, GeoURL, RSS and FOAF, and applies 4 corresponding 
transformations to get the RDF out. The grogFOAF.xsl
transform is probably of most interest here. See
http://www.w3.org/2003/12/rdf-in-xhtml-xslts/grokFOAF.xsl 
which currently notes "This is purely experimental, and 
has not been reviewed (and even less endorsed) by anybody 
involved in the FOAF project". The example worked nicely
with FOAF Explorer and TypePad last I checked. I think 
this (or something like it) is worth citing from the FOAF spec.

Feedback re grokFOAF.xsl could go to public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf at w3.org 
but would be equally appropriate here.

See also: http://rdfweb.org/pipermail/rdfweb-dev/2000-July/010125.html
"smart-home.rdf: generating webwho from XHTML with XSLT",
by Dan Connolly to this list back in July 7th 2000. Very nice to 
see that work moving on :)

This also relates to XFN. DanC initiated some discussion on XFN, GRDDL, 
FOAF etc., see

cheers,

Dan

Dom and I just did the bulk of the work necessary to move GRDDL
to a friendlier address:

  http://www.w3.org/2003/g/data-view

That document is now a somewhat friendly how-to, as well
as a technical explanation of how the profile works.

I'm sure various details remain to be fixed, but I'm not
sure how many of them I'll be able to fix today, and I
want to be sure I don't forget this notice.

I kept a running TODO list as we were doing the move;
it's messy, but I don't want to lose it, so...
