+Extend the Quarto document publishing system to handle semantic annotations.
+
+
+Quarto takes as input plaintext files written in Markdown, processes it through pandoc and a set of extensions and templates, to produce a website, a PDF document, a presentation slide show and more.
+
+
+This project will write an extension to detect semantic annotations in the Markdown input, transforming them as appropriate to the various output formats - e.g. XMP metadata for PDF output and RDFa for html output.
+
+
+Already a specification has been draftet for how to annotate semantics embedded in Markdown. The challenge is to implement that specification - and possibly spot and refine the spec, and explore use cases for Markdown+spemantics.
