Use case W3C and Libraries

Amaya crashed when I tried to save the page through JigEdit.
So here is a text version before I try again:

The most visible part of W3C work is its Technical Reports published by 
the working groups. These reports are published following a well-defined 
process. TR Automation is a project based on the use of Semantic Web 
technologies to allow W3C to streamline the publication paper trail of 
W3C Technical Reports, to maintain an index of these specifications and 
to create a number of tools using these newly available data. This 
scenario can be generalized to any organization interested in 
maintaining a portal to a digital library with customized indexes, 
dedicated search forms, navigation widgets, etc.
The W3C TR automation project actually includes the following deliverables:
- a formalized and authoritative list of W3C Technical Reports in RDF, 
updated as soon as a new Technical Report is officially published;
- customized views of the Technical Reports list (sorted by status, by 
date, by editor, by title, or by activity/group);
- statistics tools on the records of publication of Technical Reports 
are provided and rely on SPARQL queries solved against the metadata 
extracted from the reports;
- bibliographic tools.
These deliverables all rely on a shared XSLT stylesheet to extract 
metadata about Technical Reports in RDF (GRDDL). By crawling the 
published reports and applying this transformation to them, a complete 
and up-to-date RDF index is built from resources distributed over the 
organization. The simple fact that the XHTML fallows an official 
template allows a GRDDL stylesheet to be defined to extract 
corresponding RDF annotations that can then be used to build a portal or 
support a workflow (e.g. TR automation).
