role Optional The role attribute allows the author to annotate elements with machine-extractable semantic information about the nature or purpose of an element.
The value of the role attribute is one or several QNames, which when expanded resolves to a class or property in an RDF vocabulary.
The role attribute generates an RDF triple, scoped to the current element. As compared to RDFa, the expression <x role="foo:bar"/> is equivalent to <x xml:id="baz" about="#baz" property="foo:bar"/>
The Z39.86 role attribute has been designed to be functionally compatible with the W3C XHTML Role Attribute Module.
This module itself does not define a method to assign default prefixes to used QNames; such practice is application specific.
Value: A white space separated list of one or more value(s) of type QName
