Description

This doctype allows a developer to use the Resource Description Framework:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-rdfa-primer/

Using this doctype is necessary if you wish to specify the property or rel component of a tag.

This allows labeling items to be picked up by the browser:

  1. Set the title and creator - uses Dublin Core (dc from purl.org)

The trouble with Bob

Alice

...
  1. You can also attribute a license:

  1. This is also needed to get pages to validate when using the Open Graph Protocol:

http://opengraphprotocol.org/

This is used for Facebook enhanced pages.

Hi Jeremy, I like this idea of building in convenience for implementing RDFa, especially since Facebook implements opengraph.

A few questions -

1) Doesn't adding the namespace as an attribute to the tag also accomplish the same thing without adding a new doctype? (The opengraph site documents this approach). It would allow this to apply to more than one version of HTML (i.e. HTML5).

2) If approaching it like this via adding a DOCTYPE, why not add an HTML5 RDFa doctype as well? (i.e. Zend_View_Helper_Doctype::HTML5_RDFA) - see [http://dev.w3.org/html5/rdfa/]

Hi Marc, you do not need to have the RDFa doctype to implement Open Graph. Using RDFa ensures your page will validate. If you use any other doctype, you will get flagged by a validator for using "property"

Revised patch attached which consolidates Jeremy's changes, adds documentation and adds an isRdfa1() method to allow view helpers to differentiate behavior.

I attached another patch.

This includes the previous patch with the test and code. It also adds documentation in English on how to use the doctype with Open Graph.

It is in there:

I did forget to include your patch the first time I checked it in.

I am not sure which revision.
