I recently learned from Ivan Herman’s blog that O’Reilly has begun publishing RDFa in their online catalog of books. So if you go and install the RDFa Highlight bookmarklet and then visit a page like this and click on the bookmarklet you’ll see something like:
Those red boxes you see are graphical depictions of where metadata [...]
Pooh began to feel a little more comfortable, because when you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.
