<named-content>

Named Special (Subject) Content

Word or phrase whose content/subject matter has distinct semantics or content-related significance.

Remarks

In print or display, such semantic content is likely to be treated differently, for example, given a stand-out typographic style such as italics or background shading.

Related Elements

The related <styled-content> element may, in some instances, produce the same look on print or display as some <named-content> elements. Both mark content that has a visual distinction; the difference between the two elements is intent. If it is known that this word is in italics because it is a genus or species name, those semantics should be preserved with a <named-content> element with a @content-type attribute of “genus-species” or equivalent. The <styled-content> element would merely tell you that it was always in green shaded background style="green-shading".
Best Practice: Similarly, if a word is in italics because it is a foreign phrase, one very typical way to tag it would be as:
... remarkable for his <named-content 
content-type="foreign-phrase"
xml:lang="fr">joie de vivre</named-content>
and lively expression. ...
Being web-only or print-only is not a stylistic matter, but rather a particular use, which should be tagged with the @specific-use attribute on the appropriate element, perhaps even on a <named-content> or <styled-content> element.

...
<p>... To given an idea how one might
construct a series of RDF-triples concerning information on
Wikipedia&reg; about &ldquo;March Madness&rdquo;, consider the
following:

<named-content content-type="RDF subject">&lt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_madness&gt;
<named-content content-type="RDF predicate">&lt;http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/publisher&gt;
