Easier to produce • Much easier then RDF/XML or N-triples • Almost as easy as Microformats • Easy to integrate with existing publishing tools – just change your HTML templates
Easy to use • Probably first to be adopted by conventional search engines because they already crawl HTML(Yahoo! Search Monkey) • Can be used with JavaScript (http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/impl/js/) • Easy to integrate into current “web page” paradigm and workflow(CC license link at http://ben.adida.net/)
