I’m working on preparing the material and code covering the Semantic Web and Microformats for the Intermediate Ruby on Rails Workshop that we’re putting on January 25th at BCIT.

Here’s the outline what I will cover:

• What is the Semantic Web? What’s Web 3.0?
• What are Microformats? Why do Microformats matter?
• Microformats and Browser Plugins and JavaScript APIs
• Microformats and Ruby on Rails
• Creating RESTful web services using Microformats
• Adding semantics to your RESTful web pages (marking up people, events, locations and more using Microformats) and enabling Google Map listings, exporting contacts to your address book and more.
