Developing full semantic web applications is a challenging and costly process. Sometimes all that is needed is the ability to annotate XHTML markup with semantics. This is what RDFa supports and it is the concepts, standards and applications/uses of RDFa that form this course. The course will cover the XML and RDF underpinnings of RDFa and actual and potential uses of RDFa.
