Alex, Step, et al, Thanks Alex for mentioning the ISWC announcement. At ISWC I announced that the NYT is collaborating with the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) to develop a framework for annotating news using RDFa. This framework, tentatively called rNews, will consist of both a news vocabulary and suggested “best practices” for applying this vocabulary. In the announcement I invited the larger Semantic Web community to collaborate with the IPTC in developing this framework. In the next week, we will stand up a collaboration site where a draft proposal will be posted and discussed. Provided that everything proceeds as is hoped, the IPTC will vote on the recommendation at their apring meeting in March 2011. Once the collaboration site is online, I will post a note and the link to this list. Thanks in advance for working with us on this! All the best, Evan -- Evan Sandhaus Lead Architect, Semantic Platforms The New York Times Company @kansandhaus
