# @doriantaylor Plain JSON and JSON schema stuff I suppose. Microformats. I can't think of alternatives that would cover everything you can do with RDF, but I think people who claim RDF is dead don't really want to do anything open and/or complex ( twitter.com/_/status/973235391468797953)
# @rhiaro which yeah if you're using microformats or whatever, there are no "others" ( twitter.com/_/status/973236399448014848)

# @doriantaylor @rhiaro Can you walk me through that one? Microformats 1 was a narrow set of vocabularies that each parser needed to know; microformats 2 is a generalised parsing model that works with arbitrary vocabularies. ( twitter.com/_/status/973323952281006080)
# @kevinmarks @rhiaro how would I go about mixing rdf and microformats ( twitter.com/_/status/973326120564137984)
# @doriantaylor @rhiaro OK, let me try this a different way. What problem are you trying to solve? You like rdf as an abstraction, which is fair enough. Do you want to turn information marked up as microformats into rdf so you can link it to data you already have? ( twitter.com/_/status/973329752315629568)
# @kevinmarks @rhiaro you are reacting to a remark I made about "other" vocabularies and microformats not really having that concept in the same way RDFS/OWL does (i.e. term reconciliation via rdfs:subClassOf, rdfs:subPropertyOf, owl:equivalentClass, owl:equivalentProperty, owl:sameAs) am I wrong?

# @doriantaylor @rhiaro Yes, in that microformats tries much harder to converge and reuse properties rather than declare equivalence. In a sense http://brid.gy is doing the sameAs mapping as a service. Subclasses etc don't fit the worldview, it's more like mixins. ( twitter.com/_/status/973342636475117568)
