RDFa pointing towards SIOC data

Hello mailing list part of the SIOC Community,
I have research the RDFa fragments that need to be present on e.g.
blog postings to link to SIOC data (which should represent the SIOC
data for the blog posting.

After discussion with CaptSolo (and help from EliasT) there is only
RDFa in the posting that links to (via rdfs:seeAlso) the SIOC data.
Alternatively a full representation of SIOC data embedded as RDFa in
the postings XHTML could be done. This clearly introduces a lot of
redundancy, thus this approach was skipped.

As RDFa is GRDDL compatible one may write a XSLT (and link to it
from the XHMTL head) to retrieve the same rdfs:seeAlso fragment. This
task is still open and has a low priority.

Happy siocing! [GNU]

Wonderful, [GNU]! :)

Now we need to figure how to make WordPress SIOC plugin insert these
links into blogposts without hacking WP theme templates.

After a quick look I did not find an easy way to do that from a plugin.
If anybody from the SIOC community figures it out, please e-mail me or
just send a patch for the WP plugin.

There is one more thing we can do with SIOC exporters - we can make
them extract embedded RDF (RDFa, eRDF, ...) from blog posts and add to
the RDF data generated. This is not strictly necessary for SIOC itself
though.

Is this really a task for a SIOC exporter? RDFa representation of
SIOC data lowers the entry barrier for consumers of SIOC data by
providing a broader "interface". Consumers may choose which entry
point they want to use: RDFa, RDF/XML, GRDDL
