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.

Good news on SPARQL ...

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: Questionnaire on JavaScript-RDF API...

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.
