RDFa

Bruce D’Arcus announced in semantic-web@w3.org that the OASIS OpenDocument Metadata Subcommittee works on a proposal for enhanced metadata support in their file format:

A quick summary is that we’ve adopted RDF as the model for metadata, which can be:

• embedded as RDF/XML in the file package to describe either the document, or embedded content
• used in an RDFa-like syntax to tag content as triples (where the content is the literal object)
• hooked up to a new generic field (text:meta-field)
