RDFa Core Initial Context
Ivan Herman, ivan@w3.org, W3C, Digital Publishing Activity Lead, Updated: 2020-05-09
RDFa Core Initial Context
This list of predefined prefixes have been defined for RDFa as an “initial context”: essentially, RDFa users can use these prefixes without having the obligation of defining the prefixes in the HTML code. The same list of prefixes have also been defined for JSON-LD as a JSON-LD Context at the URI https://www.w3.org/2013/json-ld-context/rdfa11
; JSON-LD users can use the @context
key with that URI as a shorthand to use the same prefixes.
