I have created a
PNG[PNG] icon
for pointing at RDF content inspired by the XML icon made by
Dave Winer.
The image contains its own embedded description including the terms
of use as both PNG metadata:
Title Resource Description Framework (RDF) Icon Author Dave Beckett - http://purl.org/net/dajobe/ Description An icon for linking to Resource Description Framework (RDF) content. Copyright Copyright 2001 Dave Beckett. Freely usable for pointing at RDF content as long as this embedded metadata is preserved. This image must not be converted to a GIF. "Creation Time" 2001-04-16 Software GIMP
and embedded RDF/XML metadata:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/'> <rdf:Description rdf:about=""> <dc:creator>Dave Beckett</dc:creator> <dc:creator rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/dajobe/"/> <dc:source rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/dajobe/2001/04/rdf-icon/"/> <dc:title>Resource Description Framework (RDF) Icon</dc:title> <dc:description>An icon for linking to Resource Description Framework (RDF) content.</dc:description> <dc:rights>Copyright © 2001 Dave Beckett. Freely usable for pointing at RDF content as long as this embedded metadata is preserved. This image must not be converted to a GIF.</dc:rights> <dc:date>2001-04-16</dc:date> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>
I suggest you use it something like this:
<a href="rdf-content" title="RDF version of the content" type="application/rdf+xml"><img src="rdf.png" alt="RDF" width="36" height="14" border="0"/></a>
Note that RDF's XML syntax has no registered Internet Media Type (MIME type) at present however it probably will be application/rdf+xml based on the hints in [RDFMT1], [RDFMT2] and [XMLMT].
