W3C Workshop on Metadata for Content AdaptationPosition papers are due 6 September for the W3C Workshop on Metadata for Content Adaptation to be held in Dublin, Ireland on 12-13 October. Attendees will discuss how metadata can help the adaption of Web content to fit user needs and device characteristics, and will provide feedback and suggestions for future W3C work.
XHTML syntax is a foundational technology for content interoperability on the Web. Creating variable and multipurpose Web content for various devices and/or varying user abilities is still very difficult. Semantic markup makes a document more amenable to interpretation by software; it represents metadata associated with the content. Such metadata typically consists of a set of attributes or properties, and can be expressed as an XML or RDF vocabulary.
A markup document consists primarily of elements, attributes and text. Authors are increasingly familiar with using tags with extra attributes to extend their functions or refine the content of a given document. Attribute values convey information (metadata) to facilitate further processing of XHTML documents.
The method of using tags with extra attributes has succeeded in practice to cope with particular problem domains. We usually use implicit guidelines to capture the meaning behind these tags with special attribute values.
