Yahoo! Search understands semantics

]]> Yahoo! Search announced that it will support semantic web standards, like Microformats, RDFa and Dublin Core:

By supporting semantic web standards, Yahoo! Search and site owners can bring a far richer and more useful search experience to consumers. For example, by marking up its profile pages with microformats, LinkedIn can allow Yahoo! Search and others to understand the semantic content and the relationships of the many components of its site.

By getting this out in the open, maybe other search engines (think “G”) might come out and proclaim their love for the semantic web?

You can try it out for yourself at Yahoo! Microsearch.
