Lots of good stuff in that document. As I mentioned on the wiki I haven't gotten anything actually done around linked data / RDFa, but I have done a lot of thinking about it. Hoping we can get a few like-minded people together in a week and start to come up with a plan to move forward on some of these ideas.

Further thoughts on machine-readable museum data

I wrote up some thoughts the other day, mostly about linked data but also about how we could use microformats etc. I'd quite like to experiment and use different formats on two existing sites and see how that affects their SEO.

Museum Information and Microformats

At MW2009 we had a great unconference session that discussed the "semantic web" (and the "Semantic Web") that resulted in some tangible progress (thanks to Mia's "Do one thing" challenge).

This MW2010 unconference session would extend that conversation with a focus on implementation formats.

How can we create CDWA, VRA compliant microformats?
How do we adapt existing information to RDFa?
How do museum professionals interact with community-driven efforts, such as:

The outcome of the session will be to develop a "do one thing" challenge for 2010.
