Everyone, There will another IRC #swig meeting to discuss vCard in RDF, this time with more of a focus on its relationship to other existing languages such as FOAF. The meeting with be both over IRC and face-2-face in Boston for those attending the W3C Multi-Meeting Week. In IRC the meeting will of course be on #swig, and at the W3C Multi-Meeting the face-to-face component will be held at 12:00ET in I think in G631 of the MIT Strata Building. Hope to see you there, either in person or over IRC! The relevant documents are: 1) The skeleton of the spec: [1] http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns 2) The draft mappings (using Embedded RDF): [2] http://www.ibiblio.org/hhalpin/homepage/notes/vcardtable.html cheers, harry On Wed, 24 Jan 2007, Dan Brickley wrote: > > Josh@oklieb wrote: >> At this point we are at: >> >> On Jan 24, 2007, at 1:04 PM, Andrew Turner wrote: >> >>> That seems unfortunate. >>> >>> What is the path for moving forward in the GeoRSS specification, esp >>> Simple?
