Note: POWDER Use Cases and Requirements

   The POWDER Working Group has released the first publication of
   "POWDER: Use Cases and Requirements" as a Working Group Note. The
   document will guide the development of a way to attach small,
   easily-produced annotations to large collections of Web content. Web
   resources can then be retrieved, personalized and delivered in a
   variety of delivery contexts to meet both social needs for content
   labels and commercial requirements for content adaptation. Visit the
   Semantic Web home page.
