Introduction

Hi all,

following Sebastian’s mail, let me introduce myself. I am Felix Sasaki, I have been working in the area of multilingual processing and standardisation of Web content in W3C since 2005. During that time, I have been involved in technical documentation frequently e.g. at events like Tekom.

Looking at the list of topics

"
Define Use Cases for Technical Documentation in the Semantic Web
Review existing Standards for Technical Documentation
Develop an Ontology Specification for a general purpose representation for Technical Documentation in the Semantic Web
Collect tools that support authoring
publishing and accessing Technical Documentation in the Semantic Web
Define Test Cases / Competency Questions for the Use Case
„

I am wondering if we should already discuss one item:
"Develop an Ontology Specification for a general purpose representation for Technical Documentation in the Semantic Web“
From experience with semantic technologies and XML, developing an ontology that is general purpose for technical document may not find a lot of traction. People want to keep their XML workflows and augment them with semantic information, using e.g. mechanisms like RDFa. What do people think about this?

Also, the group currently does not have a lot of participants. Events like Tekom or Markupforum may be a good venue to encourage people to join.

Best,

Felix
