[occi-wg] XHTML5 Rendering Proposal...

Wed Nov 11 14:28:54 CST 2009

hi All,

Yes, this is good stuff. Seems like a good direction for OCCI to be  
going in. The combination of REST and RDF is a powerful one for many  
different kinds of Web API, and not just OCCI.

Attached is a screenshot when one of the RDFa bookmarklets from
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/HTML/rdfa-bookmarklet/
... is activated on Andy's HTML.

The getN3 bookmarklet returns the following triples extracted from the  
markup:

<> occi:title "My Virtual Machine" .
<> occi:summary "A simple sample virtual machine" .
<> ?://purl.org/occi/compute#console </myvm/console.png> .
<> ?://purl.org/occi/compute#console <ssh://myvm:22> .

<> :alternate </myvm.ovf> .
<> :alternate </myvm.xen> .

(but, I believe that a number of the tools listed on that W3C page use  
an older version of the spec)

Roger
