OK! thanks. There must be some default operating there... RDF for authors is now on to do list! Here are the data elements available: name alternate names website birth date death date wikipedia link FOAF doesn't cover death dates... RDA has death dates, alternate names. Should FOAF be used where possible, adding in RDA to fill in? There are a lot of elements they have in common. kc Ed Summers wrote: > On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 10:40 AM, Karen Coyle<[log in to unmask]> wrote: > >> Ed, I have NO IDEA how you got to rdf/xml from the OL author link -- do >> tell, and I'll take a look!
