RDFa Basics video from Manu Sporny

Via Dave Beckett in #swig IRC,  Manu Sporny’s handy 10 minute overview of RDFa Basics (see also other versions, source materials).

Here’s a screen grab of the full FOAF example used. Note that the WG renamed ‘instanceof’ to ‘typeof’ recently.

FOAF example expressed in RDFa

For the video-averse, a full transcript is available. Here’s the full XHTML markup example from the above image: 

<body xmlns:foaf=”http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/”>
 <span about=”#jane” typeof=”foaf:Person”
       property=”foaf:name“>Jane McJanerson</span>
 <span about=”#mac” typeof=”foaf:Person”
       property=”foaf:name“>Mac McJanerson</span>
 <span about=”#jane” rel=”foaf:knows”
       resource=”#mac”>Jane is friends with Mac.</span>
</body>
