(crossposted to old and new SWIG lists; please join semantic-web@w3.org and direct followup messages to that list only please; more info at [1]) Hi. Feb 28 / Mar 1 2005 Meeting of the W3C Semantic Web Interest Group Part of the W3C 2005 Technical Plenary, Hyatt Harborside Hotel/ Boston, MA, USA -- http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/interest/meetings/tp2005 As last year, I have reserved a meeting room for SWIG discussions as part of the annual W3C Technical Plenary. And as before, I've left it later than I wish before announcing this and soliciting agenda items. I have made a skeleton page for the meeting at http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/interest/meetings/tp2005 Information about the *previous* meeting is online at http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/interest/meetings/tp2004 (please take care not to confuse these pages! we are in Boston USA this year, not France ;) Last year's gathering was quite fun. We had an informal "show and tell" environment in which SW developers and users gave short presentations of their work, set in the wider context of the SW standardisation efforts at W3C. The meeting is open to the public membership of this Interest Group (ie. mailing list participants). Note that you need to register (info linked from above url) for meeting planning purposes. This year's should be similar to last year's, so see links from end of [2] to get an idea of how that went. This time I would be especially interested to get presentations on topics relating to the publication, harvesting, aggregation etc. of RDF/XML and OWL-based data in the public Web. There is plenty of room for other topics too, but I think it is time we had a push to get some more RDF information onto "ordinary" Websites. We already have a good amount of Dublin Core, RSS1, FOAF and CreativeCommons data out there, but there is potential for so much more. With that in mind, I would particularly like to see suggestions for talks, discussion sessions etc that focus on getting RDF/XML docs into the Web. I have already persuaded(*) Phil Archer (ICRA) to give an overview of work he's been leading in Europe on RDF for PICS-like quality labelling, with particular emphasis on rules for associating a single RDF-based description with multiple documents. I'd like to hear more such talks from other RDF implementors, in particular focussing on technical and other deployment obstacles to getting RDF "out there" in the Web. Send your suggestions to me or the semantic-web@w3.org list, or record them in the Wiki page that Dan Connolly started at http://esw.w3.org/topic/SwigAtTp2005 Thanks for your thoughts, Dan [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/2005Feb/0048.html [2] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/interest/meetings/tp2004 (*) in fact we're collaborating on this in the EU Quatro project; guess I should mention that in spirit of transparency.
