Points on potential cooperation between STI2 and W3C/SWEO2

Hi all, I've added some points to the NextSteps wiki page, repeated
below for convenience of discussion, should any happen before the
telcon. 8-)

(Where I write SWEO2, I basically mean the W3C, whatever group(s) it
decides to establish around SemWeb education & outreach.) 

      * We agree with other commenters that the SWEO2 should "speak for
        the W3C". 
      * SWEO2 could review STI2's Semantic Web Master curriculum and
        materials, and maybe even consider giving them some publicity. 
      * STI2 should submit its training materials on the core aspects of
        the SemWeb to SWEO2, which may review and perhaps also adopt
        them. 
      * W3C and SWEO2 experts should be included in STI2 Expert DB. 
      * SWEO2 and STI2 could co-organize training events and summer
        schools. Whenever appropriate, STI2 would let SWEO2 know about
        its event planned events and SWEO2 could join in. Due to STI2
        being represented in SWEO2, the other direction is covered. 
      * SWEO2 should consider participation in STI2-organized
        conferences such as ESWC, ASWC, ESTC etc., even to the extent of
        a W3C track, for instance. 
      * SWEO2 could hold some of its meetings in conjunction with STI2
        conferences. 
      * SWEO2 could help form the STI2 certification programs, and then
        the W3C could consider officially embracing ("blessing") such
        programs.


Best regards,
