I've been working to apply the hCalendar microformat to the events displayed on my web site. However, from my research, I get the impression that microformats are not recommended (or at least looked down upon by some). Instead, RDF seems to be the preferred way for representing semantic-rich information.
However, I'm confounded by RDF. I don't even know where to start. Microformats provide an easy to understand guide for using the hCalendar format. RDF, on the other hand, is written using moon people language.
Is there an RDF alternative to hCalendar? Is there some resource that describes how to implement it? Should I just continue with hCalendar since it's easy to implement?
