This is a Call for Proposals for RDFa utils and services. There is already an impressive amount of RDFa-software out there (see below), but still there may be a blind spot what is needed to improve one’s everyday work. What can you imagine might be worth to have? A plugin for a blog system, an editor, a semantic aggregator, etc.?
So far the following utils and services are known – at least to me:
- REST-based RDFa services, as a Elias’ extractor, or Ruben’s RDFa monkey
- DOM-based RDFa highlighter, as the RDFa Bookmarklets
- Libraries, as RDFLib
- RDFa editors, as the TopBraid Composer
- Plugins, as the MozCC plugin for Firefox, or the wordpress plugin, Daniel Lewis is working on
Please, post your whish list here, tell us about your implementation, or simply state that you are happy with all we have so far
Incidentally, there is a draft of the RDFa Test Suite available, including an alpha-version of an automated RDFa Test Runner.

I’m looking forward to see this WordPress plugin! Currently I’m having trouble using RDFa in WordPress because…
Some of the RDFa constructs get grabled up by WP
Elias’ Torres RDFa extractor (I used the python version) chokes on the WP HTML.
Apart from that, I’m happy to announce that I plan to use RDFa in semiBlog. If it works, this will be a much easier way to attach annotations to blog posts than to upload RDF files (which is what I’m doing at the moment). Also, I know that the people behind the Semantic Clipboard are planning to support RDFa (actually, I am about to try to integrate your RDFaExtractor in it).
