Hi Daniel,

If you want to say that this <div> has a (rdf:)type of foaf:Person,
then
just say typeof="foaf:Person".

You are a boy genius. :)


I prefer 'typeof' to 'instanceof'. I prefer 'type' to 'typeof'. I suspect (monolingually) that single words may be preferable to compounds, from an internationalisation perspective.

I'd like to throw 'inclass' into the mix.

It has the disadvantage of being close to HTML's existing 'class' attribute. It has the advantage of being close to HTML's existing 'class' attribute.

(In RDF and OWL, 'foaf:Person' is called a 'class'...)

cheers,

Dan
