@Count Culture – I did try (and fail) to introduce RDFa to our councillor pages, but might nick your work on Openly Local to give me a prod in the right direction. If I get some time this afternoon, I might make a start

As for adding some other RDF resources, that’s a damn good idea – is it just a case of adding a URI to another dc:publisher (or whatever) element?

Good stuff - I think the next stage is to get argots (The consultation argot is here to give you an idea of what the hell I'm going on about!) for different types of local authority services. I think a load of us need to get our heads together and think about the kinds of information we LAs offer and publish online and come up with an agreed standard.

Good find fella! I’ve bookmarked this as we’re looking at doing some template related updates on our site in the new year.

Good work fella (as usual). Are you going to roll out RDFa on the other pages? If so, would be good to link up to other RDF resources (e.g. ONS URIs for council, wards, ditto OS and also, er, OpenlyLocal

I suppose you could do worse than use skeptic Mike’s platform!

Looks good…but you forgot the @about=”#this”, to give the consultation an identifier.

Without it, you’re not part of the Linked Data cloud!
