Hi Michael,
Thanks for these good bubbling ideas :-) I found them interesting but I have a general comment: it seems
that it is really difficult to force people to use a technology for which they have first to learn. Remember
that some of the participants come from the multimedia community with an interest in SW technologies but do
not know the numerous work that are conducted in this research community. See how difficult it is for each
participant here to have his/her introduction in RDF on the wiki pages, 5 months after the group is born !
In detail, use RDFa in the wiki, and report your difficulty ! Show us that it worth to invest time to learn
and that it provides new possibilities. The IRC bots could certainly be enhanced (I have already written one
some years ago). But any changes will affect all W3C groups that are used to use these bots. I suggest you
write your suggestions to theirs authors, and particularly to David Booth who has written the perl script
that formats the minutes. Providing an RDF summary of the minutes is for me a feasible and good idea.
Propose your help if you're willing to ... Finally, with respect to the W3C specific vocabulary (activities,
members, etc.), it is already more or less formalized, not really under the form of an OWL ontology, but
almost.
Best.
Raphaël
