Hi!

I am using ARC2's eRDF parser extensively and keep on discovering new =20=

and useful ways of using embedded rdf in plain html all the time.

I keep on running in the following issue: the parsing of the anchor =20
elements is not in conformance with the specification. The title =20
attribute or the element's content should be added as rdfs labels. =20
Without this feature, we cannot represent our everyday use of links =20
with rdf triples.

The erdf summary states the following:

"In addition, anchors generate triples with:

     * a subject URI derived from the href attribute
     * a predicate of rdfs:label
     * a literal value equal to the value of the ''title' attribute =20
if present, or the string-value of the anchor element's content if =20
not." http://research.talis.com/2005/erdf/wiki/Main/=20
SummaryOfTripleProductionRules

I would even say that the title and the element's content should BOTH =20=

produce rdfs labels, as they both are ways of describing the hyperlink.

WYT?
