Yes, I know. Nor is foaf:primaytopic :) I think there's a good chance of getting wide adoption for rel="primarytopic" as a pattern / microformat / whatever. Having that very simple relation would be a massive boost for cross-linking the document web with the data web, important enough to warrant a special case IMHO. > > If you absolutely need to use foaf then its better to qualify it: > <link rel="foaf:primarytopic" > href="http://education.data.gov.uk/id/school/500006" /> > > Yes, its a PITA for the average HTML user/developer, but being superficially > simpler doesn't make it a valid long term solution. There is a standard in > place for custom typed links re. <link/>. The two are not exclusive. In an RDFa environment, I would suggest using foaf:primaryTopic (note case too - too easy for developers to mis-type) Ian
