IFLA Semantic Web Special Interest Group - Request for support

[Apologies for cross-posting]

The IFLA Information Technology section, with support of Cataloguing 
section, Classification and Indexing section, and Knowledge Management 
section, proposes the creation of a Semantic Web Special Interest Group 
(SWSIG) within IFLA.

 The SWSIG intends to be a platform where interested professionals could 
gather, and undertake whatever tasks are needed to develop, enhance and 
facilitate the adoption of semantic Web technologies in the library 
community. The rationale for the group can be found at [1].

Please support the creation of the SWSIG by adding your name on the wiki 
page at [1] by December, 1st at the latest 

Because the wiki is in the majority for german-speaking colleagues, the 
default language is german and for anonymous use it's unfortunately not 
possible to change the language. So you have to use the 
 "Bearbeiten"-Button to change the text or to add your signature. Please 
enter the letters from the Captcha-image and store (with "Speichern") your 
changes.

You don't have to be an IFLA member representative to sign. Supporting the 
creation of the SWSIG doesn't imply any commitment to participate in the 
group's activities.
If approved, the SWSIG will hold its first meeting during IFLA WLIC 2011 
in Puerto Rico. The meeting will be open to any interested person.
