mata tag in HTML5

by **clanceyp** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 6:59 pm

I have a metadata question. In one of our medical applications (currently HTML4 loose) we have metadata tags which contain data relevant to the content of the application e.g.

Code: Select all: <meta content="" name="REF.SNOMED-concept-ID"> <meta content="" name="REF.MeSH-unique-ID"> <meta content="" name="REF.release.number">

Where the prefix "REF" is an intern acronym/abbreviation for the web-application. I want to port this web app to HTML5, but the name attribute values are not valid in HTML5. How can I add application relevant metadata to my HTML5 web-apps, without using the <meta /> tag?

Thanks.

Why are you not wanting to use meta tags in HTML5?

If this is data that is only intended to be processed by the app itself, then you can use data-* attributes. You could do e.g. <html data-ref.snomed-concept-id="..." ...>

If this is data that is intended for other parties to consume, you could consider creating a microdata vocabulary.
