Livestock Data Interchange Standards Community Group created

W3C has launched the Livestock Data Interchange Standards Community Group:
  http://www.w3.org/community/livestockdata/

--------------------------------------------------

A group of dairy and sheep/beef organisations in New Zealand have agreed
to collaborate on standardising the interchange of data about farm
animals (livestock) and the management, health, and production
information that is recorded for these animals.


There are reasons why it is timely for the New Zealand dairy industry in
particular to work on these problems, but we intend the work to support
multiple species and to draw on previous international work and be
relevant for use internationally.

We invite you to join:

If you do not have one already, you will need a W3C account to join:

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires
the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on
site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
