The W3C GRDDL WG has published the "Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages (GRDDL)" [1] as a Last Call document. Current Version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-grddl-20070302/ Latest Version: http://www.w3.org/TR/grddl/ There is a widespread misunderstanding that microformats and the Semantic Web are competitors, and that it's difficult to move from legacy XML dialects to RDF. Yet GRDDL (Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Langauge) makes it easy! With GRDDL, one should be able to transform microformat data on the Web was, for free, RDF, helping deploy the Semantic Web with the rich data-set it needs for killer apps. With GRDDL, one just can place a transform to RDF in the document, or even the namespace document or profile URI. But we need help from the Semantic Web community to make sure this spec is technically solid, easy-to-read, and covers your eneds. The GRDDL WG believes this document fulfills requirements set forth in its charter, in particular "a GRDDL specification with all issues addressed" [2]. The Last Call review period is from March 2nd to March 30th, and the GRDDL WG would definitely appreciate any comments. Comments should be sent to the public list-serv public-grddl-comments@w3.org [3]. This document was produced by a group operating under the 5 February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy. [4] thank you!
