XForms, XHTML, and RDFa for Internet-Facing Applications

Mark Birbeck (webBackplane, W3C Invited Expert)
XForms evening Wellesley
We demonstrate how to use a combination of XForms, XHTML and RDFa to create “internet-facing” applications:
  • desktop widgets and gadgets;
  • pure Ajax browser applications;
  • web applications that use browser plug-ins such as formsPlayer;
  • complete standalone desktop applications, running independently of a browser.

We also show a new editing tool that makes it easier to build and test such applications.
