As soon as that is out, we can get the blog out. OK, I've thrown something together and it is queued up in the Data Activity blog. I don't see any homepage news yet so I've not published the post. You can see it in draft c/o http://www.w3.org/blog/data/?p=94&preview=true (with hyperlinks) or plain text here, """The CSV on the Web Working Group has published four drafts. Alongside updates to theexisting Model for Tabular Data and Metadata and Metadata Vocabulary for Tabular Datadocuments, are two new documents. These describe mechanisms for generating JSON and RDF from tabular data. This work builds on the earlier specifications which describe higher level metadata for tabular data such as CSV. We also anticipate the creation of a W3C Community Group for exploring more advanced mappings that exploit text-oriented templating systems such as Mustache, or W3C’s R2RML. The Working Group welcomes all feedback on its drafts, and in particular solicits review of the new specifications for generating JSON and RDF from tabular data.""" I am not sure about wisdom of mentioning the anticipated CG, but I thought it might help set expectations around the JSON/RDF docs to be clear that they aren't intended to be the last word on fancy data mapping (esp. given our charter). If anyone cares to tweak/polish/rewrite, please go ahead (directly via wordpress or comment in this thread). cheers, Dan
