What Is This?

This is an HTML+RDFa representation of metadata describing this Web-addressable resource.

Why Is This Important?

The property (attributes and values pairs) links on this page unveil a different kind of link, one which enables the following on HTTP networks such as the Web:

Unambiguous identity for entities (aka. strong identifiers)
Implicit binding of an entity and its metadata via strong identifiers
Multiple metadata representations that enable a variety of presentations
High precision Search and Find queries that simply use the metadata documents (by referencing entity URIs) as the query's Data Source Name

How Do I Discover Alternative Metadata Representations?

This document exposes metadata in the following formats: (X)HTML+RDFa, Turtle, N3, RDF/JSON, or RDF/XML. In the most basic form, you can simply view the (X)HTML source markup of this page, and go directly to the <head/> section which contains a <link/> tag with relationship and type properties for each format.

In addition, you can also explicitly request a desired metadata representation for a given resource via HTTP GET requests that use the entity's strong identifier as the call target.

How Can I Expose My Web Resources In This Manner?

Simply include the following in the <head/> section of your (static or dynamically generated) (X)HTML page:

<link rel="alternate" title="My Data in RDF Linked Data form"
type="application/rdf+xml"
href="http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/id/<this-page-URL>/>"
