RDFa 1.1 Profile for GoodRelations and Related Vocabulary Prefixes

The latest W3C Working Draft on RDFa Core 1.1 allows importing prefix definitions from an external Web resource.

This document contains such prefix definitions for popular vocabulary namespaces, which simplifies RDFa rich mark-up, in particular if multiple vocabularies, like GoodRelations and FOAF are combined.

Update (November 16, 2010): The Tickets Ontology prefix has been added.

Update (August 31, 2010): The Vehicle Sales Ontology prefix has been added.

   <div xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" 
        xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#" 
        xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/" 
        xmlns:gr="http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#" 
        xmlns:vcard="http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#" 
        xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#">
