1. The Civil Twilight data for a place can be used to model a daily schedule.  
Here is the Bristol (City of) example:
http://www.rustprivacy.org/2011/phase/tpac2011/toward/GB-BST-2011.html
Back on the Summer Solstice (~ Jun 21) there were over 16 hours of Civil 
Twilight and Daytime (1092 min.).  Today there are 571 minutes, or about 9.5 
hours.  A sustainable activity schedule requires ~8 hours of sleep.  Nowhere on 
Earth is that possible in daylight year round.

2. An example of the XHTML/dct:bibliographicCitation is at 
http://www.rustprivacy.org/2011/phase/gld/cd/gld-cd.br.html
This is essentially an HTML collection of RDF/HTML citations.  The citations 
can be used for any XML or text actually and this fills the gap between real 
manifestations of concepts and virtual "manifestations" in Libraries.  For 
example, The Roman Empire exists only in the Library (anymore), and 
Lilliput,Erewhon,Shangra-la, etc. never existed anywhere else but a Library.  
It's a data gap one would not expect Commerce, Governments, the EU or the UN to 
fill.

Hi Jeremy,

 

This is related to the issue I raised last week[1].  I think HTML5 breaks 
GRDDL, which is not "just" a syntax problem.  I have some doubts that HTML5 
will meld well with scientific data.


FWIW, XHTML 1.1 has a driver for XHTML+RDFa[2].  And I am putting together an 
XHTML+dct:bibliographicCitation XSD Schema[3].  In the US, the Weather - 
DWML/XML - is already DOM'ed and it is more work to make RDFa microlinks than 
it is to write custom Transforms to display formats.  I did add Civil Twilight 
to the DWML and produced a "Data Available" page.  The data validates with XSD 
Schema.  You might like to have a look[4] (has not been updated in ~ month, 
since TPAC). 
Adding sunrise/sunset or Civil Twilight data to the weather data is something 
the BBC should consider.  Unfortunately the UK is without benefit of insane 
politicians who consider only "work for wages" work.  This is a Health and 
Labor issue, since travel to and from work for wages is a higher risk with 
fatigue and darkness[eg. 5].  I have some corrections to these pages, but 
you'll get the idea.

RDFa and HTML5 
Hi, I work with the BBC’s Weather web team and we’d like to add some minimal 
RDFa to forecast pages to link them with their corresponding Geonames ID.  

The BBC URLs make use of GeoIDs, but there’s nothing that explicitly states 
(for example):
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2637142 – is_a_forecast_for - 
http://sws.geonames.org/2637142

Back in August on this list Keith Alexander suggested something like:
    <link rev="meteo:forecastPage"  href="http://sws.geonames.org/2637142/";> 

which seems ideal, but unfortunately when I tried this on a sandbox it failed 
validation – apparently <linl rev=””> has been deprecated in HTML5. 

Has anyone come up against a similar problem, or have a suggestion for how else 
we might make this association?

Thanks

JT
