Is DOAP over Atom [1] an example of the type of solution you are
suggesting James?
That looks good. But what if I want to annotate an entry with some
RDF? In a recent
blog [2] I describe a cool bar in Zürich. I mention that I would also
like to add
to my feed information pertaining to the description. So I would like
for example to
say that my entry is about a particular bar, give the address of the
bar, its geo location
perhaps, that it has free wifi, and that it is very friendly. This
would allow search engines
to index much more structured information about the bar than they
otherwise could. This would
allow Google Maps for example to give a location to my feedback on
their maps. In the DOAP over
Atom type solution where the RDF is placed inside the content, there
is then
no more space to put the entry content itself. So I can either put
the text entry into the content
or the metadata. Where should the metadata go?

more than just the text/HTML that RSS is limited to, I think this
should be interesting to the Atom community.

What can we do with Atom to make the vision of Structured/Semantic
publishing more real?
bob wyman
There really isn't anything we HAVE to do with Atom to make it
suitable for Structured publishing. The format's content model is
already more than adequate for this kind of thing. For instance,
Joe Reger's software could easily stuff the XML data instances that
conform to a logs XML Schema into the atom:content element while
including the text description of the log into the atom:summary.
The only thing that really needs to happen here is for someone to
begin writing the code that makes this happen.
