Dear WWW2006 Developer Track Chairs, I would like to propose a session for the WWW2006 DevTrack, which would show RDF/A in action. Participants will include myself, Ben Adida and Steven Pemberton. Presentation Title: RDF/A in Action: Enabling Semantic Web Clients Preferred Length: 30 minutes Possible Lengths: Lightning, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes Sessions: - Next Wave Web Technologies (preferred) - Ontologies and Semantic Web Short Description: RDF/A is a new mechanism for allowing XHTML documents to carry metadata with the full power of RDF, yet without the difficulties involved in traditional RDF syntax. In many cases RDF/A lets the author re-use the data they already have in their document, but by making use of a few simple extensions to XHTML this data becomes part of the Semantic Web. Embedding RDF in an XHTML document in this way opens up a number of exciting possibilities for the future of the Semantic Web; first it allows authors to publish metadata as easily as they can publish any XHTML page (for example as a blog), and second it allows client software to enrich the user experience by making use of this metadata. This session aims to demonstrate this, using various technologies, including: * GreaseMonkey extensions to FireFox; * side-bars in Internet Explorer; * a new Semantic Web browser called Sidewinder. More information about RDF/A is available from the RDF/A Primer at: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml-rdfa-primer-20060310/ Regards, Mark Mark Birbeck CEO x-port.net Ltd. e: Mark.Birbeck@x-port.net t: +44 (0) 20 7689 9232 b: http://internet-apps.blogspot.com/ w: http://www.formsPlayer.com/ Download our XForms processor from http://www.formsPlayer.com/
