Exactly! And when you add RDDL to it the XHTML is also useful to computers. Which is why I think XHTML+RDDL at the URL of a URI is perfectly suited. I find in class that many students come to my class thinking that going to the URL of a namespace URI is important ... and putting XHTML at the URL of a URI makes it useful (though no more important than it was). Useful to those without tools to read the RDDL and useful to those with tools to read the RDDL. Useful, but not important. >Even if someone will oppose me, I will insist lobbying placing RDF >code at NS URLs. Fine ... different strokes for different folks. But if someone without an RDF tool visits the URL of your URI, would they get as much out of the page of data? >I will provide a link from my RDF into an RDDL however. Not sure what that means. Do you mean a link into an XHTML+RDDL document? . . . . . . . . .
