The RDFa-deployed Multimedia Metadata (ramm.x) activity has been launched:
With ramm.x we aim at enabling existing multimedia metadata formats to enter the Semantic Web [...] ramm.x targets at self-descriptive media asset descriptions allowing to apply the follow-your-nose principle.
As recently announced in Andy Seaborne's blog, SPARQL is now also capable of manipulating RDF graphs:
SPARQL/Update is a language that takes the SPARQL style, and much of the grammar, and provides both graph update and graph management operations.
Kudos to Andy and Geetha!
W3C prepares for Scripting for the Semantic Web:
The W3C Semantic Web Activity is considering whether to propose further work specifying a standard Applications Programming Interface (API) for people writing Semantic Web applications in Javascript running in browsers. Before engaging, possibly, in drafting a charter to be then submitted to W3C members, W3C would like to solicit input from the developers' community. An interactive questionnaire was therefore set up at:
http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/1/semweb-js-api/
to collect community input. W3C would appreciate if interested developers filled the questionnaire to promote consensus on this issue.
BTW: The 3rd Workshop on Scripting for the Semantic Web is colocated with ESWC 2007. June 6 or 7, 2007 Innsbruck, Austria.
