Congrats to Dan Connolly and the GRDDL WG. Today the Semantic Web Activity News announced the GRDDL Recommendation status; see also:
I can see many valid things in Keith's post about uF and the Semantic Web (like 'Things have URIs'), but I like most his conclusion:
So in other words, Microformats are not, in themselves, building, or contributing to, the semantic web. They can be made to join the semantic web, but this requires extra effort on the part of individual authors – it does not come ‘for free’ when ‘doing microformats’.
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.
