Makefile to validate RDFa against "unit tests"

[clange]

ceur-make intends to output sane RDFa, i.e. RDFa that uses reasonable URIs for things and that is valid w.r.t. the vocabularies used.

However,

• ceur-make might be wrong,
• Some features (e.g. AUX papers) are not yet supported by ceur-make, and some other features (e.g. linking to machine-comprehensible FOAF user profiles if editors/authors have them) do require manual copy-editing of the RDFa if editors want to have them (and, don't worry, those who want to have this, are usually technically experienced). Any such manual copy-editing might go wrong.
• We won't be able to stop the bad practice of bypassing ceur-make and copy-editing existing volumes' index.html files.

An easy way of implementing this would be a combination of

• some new rules in the Makefile
• a shell script
• pyRDFa (for obtaining RDF/XML)
• SPARQL queries executed by the ARQ command-line tool

IMHO it's better to implement this in a higher level language like python
