Re: Interesting times regarding structured data and the web - eventsunfo

Apologies my previous email was very terse - having to juggle other matters at the

same time.

 

Does this signal a beginning of an official shift on the Web away from use of XML for

structuring data? If so, I hadn't realised the Web/XML situation was quite *that* critical.

 

I notice the TAG list seemed to solicit external comments. I would think such a situation

could warrant a bit more than just that - more like an international or global referendum!

 

Am I misunderstanding things and overestimating the urgency?

 

I notice the question of what purpose structured data might have in a web page came

up: I haven't come across much discussion of the uses (use cases or more than that) 

of XML structured data inside web pages. I thought it was so fundamentally obvious

to web developers as to not require discussion but maybe not.

 

Cheers
