The page Citation_in_digital_scholarship describes a convention for indicating citations that relies on the 'class' and 'title' attributes when implemented in (x)html. This page describes the extension of that convention to encompass adding RDFa to conformant citations.

Sample sentence: In the so-called "Catalog of Ships" (Il. 2.494-759), Homer lists the number of ships contributed by the Greeks and their allies.

With citation markup added: In the so-called "Catalog of Ships" (<a class="citation" title="Homer Iliad 2.494" href="http://perseus.uchicago.edu/perseus-cgi/citequery3.pl?dbname=GreekTexts&query=Hom.%20Il.%202.494">Il. 2.494-759</a>), Homer lists the number of ships contributed by the Greeks and their allies.
