Embed metadata in your web content using RDFa Improving the semantics and programmability of the web



Learn how to start using RDFa, realise the immediate benefits, and gain an appreciation of an evolving and richer world wide web of data on this practical workshop from Netskills.

RDFa (Resource Description Framework in attributes) is the standard for inserting key metadata in attributes of HTML elements. This metadata can then enable software agents, such as search engine indexers and other web applications, to determine semantic meaning in your content and use this in search engine result listings or to connect with related information using linked data protocols. The end result is a quantum leap in the value of your content and in the potential to share it with many more web users in different ways.

Topics:

  • The development context and purpose of RDFa
  • Practical details of using RDFa with your content
  • The benefits of semantic clarity in content, enabled by RDFa
  • The implications for a much more powerful web

By the end of the workshop participants will have:

  • Gained familiarity with the purpose, usefulness and potential of RDFa
  • An understanding of how to improve existing web sites by adding RDFa
  • Increased awareness of available RDFa tools and how to take advantage of them
  • An insight into future web developments based on semantic data

Who is it for?

Web content creators and authors who wish to add value to their content and enable all of it, or part, to be discovered and used more widely and effectively. This course is of particular interest to those managing large data repositories who wish to develop links with other resources or simply increase use of the repository.

Attendees should have a basic understanding of HTML markup and editing web pages.
