W3C: Questionnaire on JavaScript-RDF API...

mhausenblas — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 21:17:44 +0100

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.

Quoting Kjetil Kjernsmo from the W3C SWEO IG

Many of you probably know allready, but I hope to spread this as widely as possible:

In the Semantic Web Education and Outreach Interest Group, we decided that an important part of spreading SW is to create useful applications that can make a difference to a lot of people, and so, we came up with this:

http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects

The goal is to gather programmers allready interested in semweb
technology around a few projects. It is not a competition, like the Semantic Web Challenge, we just want to get the great minds together.

Please propose projects and spread the questionnaire to others that may be interested.

Another good news: Generating RDFa from...

Enjoy reading Bob DuCharme's blog post on how to generate RDFa from Movable Type.

RDF in HTML and Microformats

mhausenblas — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 20:57:06 +0100

When Seth states that "[...] Microformats have succeeded here, allowing me to very easily embed metadata into XHTML.", I'd like to reply: You can virtually embed RDF into (X)HTML using RDFa; just as easy as that + you get: multiple Vocs in one place via namespaces, one-tool-for-all-formats, etc.

Want to try out? Go have a look at RDFa bookmarklets.

RDFa Use Cases

mhausenblas — Thu, 21 Dec 2006 20:40:56 +0100

In the W3C RDF-in-HTML task force, we now establish use cases for RDFa.
