Event details

Date:: 27 May 2008, 00:00–00:00 Coordinated Universal Time
Location:: London, United Kingdom
Speakers:: Dan Brickley
Website:: Microformats vEvent

This talk explores some ways in which the Microformat and RDF approaches can complement each other, and some ways in which we can share data, tools and experiences between these two technologies. It will outline the often-unarticulated history of the RDF design, the techniques used for parsing and querying RDF data, and the things made easy and hard through this approach. RDF techniques can be contrasted with the different choices made for Microformats. However these differences obscure an underlying similarity that comes from shared ‘Webby’ values.
