[SOLVED] Equivalent RDFa markup for RDF+XML snippet

Equivalent RDFa markup for RDF+XML snippet

I'm currently learning about all things RDF and was wondering what the equivalent RDFa markup would look like for this RDF+XML snippet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rdf:RDF 
    xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"   
    xmlns:dbo="http://dbpedia.org/ontology#" >

    <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://dbpedia.org/page/Bavaria">
        <dbo:population>12440000</dbo:population>
        <dbo:capital rdf:resource="http://dbpedia.org/page/Munich" />
    </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>

I've been looking at the documentation, but can't really figure this out.

Solution

Assuming the HTML is

<p>
  Munich is the capital of Bavaria (population: 12440000).
</p>

then you could use

<p prefix="dbo: http://dbpedia.org/ontology#" resource="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Bavaria">
  <span property="dbo:capital" resource="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Munich">Munich</span> is the capital of Bavaria (population: <span property="dbo:population">12440000</span>).
</p>

to get exactly the same RDF as in your RDF/XML example. There are of course many other possible solutions.

You only need to know a few attributes for RDFa Lite:

vocab for specifying a default vocabulary (which can be used without prefix)
prefix for specifying vocabulary prefixes
resource for identifiers
typeof for types
property for properties

For more complex cases, refer to the "full" HTML+RDFa spec.

(Note that I used http://dbpedia.org/resource/… instead of http://dbpedia.org/page/… URIs. See why.)
