Bridging XHTML, XML and RDF with GRDDL

Bridging XHTML, XML and RDF with GRDDL: "While SGML and XML languages have had for a long time the possibility to describe syntactic constraints of their vocabularies using DTD and other schema languages, no specific mechanism exists to allow for the mapping between these syntactic constraints and their semantic implications.

GRDDL, a technology in development in W3C, allows to incorporate semantics from XML vocabularies and XHTML conventions into the Semantic Web by re-using existing extensibility hooks of the Web. This paper explains the basic principles of its mechanisms, and explore how it can be applied for various communities.

Introduction

Re-using the same same technologies for sharing documents on the Web to share information and data that can be processed directly by computers is an idea as old as the Web itself.

The Semantic Web, built on the Resource Description Framework (RDF), is the point of reference for sharing computer-processable information on the Web. Howeve"
