How can I embed schema.org markup in SVG?

Question

I want to add semantics to SVG files and would like to use the schema.org conditions. Does SVG have syntax for this? My first attempt:

<svg:text xmlns:svg="xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" x="100" y="200"   
       html:itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
       >Joe Soap</svg:text>

Will it match the SVG and display in the appropriate tools? and will schema.org markup be recognized by search engines?

I have never tried, but I think you can use RDFa , since SVG Tiny 1.2 allows attributes

• about
• content
• datatype
• property
• rel
• resource
• rev
• typeof

(You can use the element metadatawith RDF / XML .)
