W3C's hosting a workshop on interface definitions for RDF data. If you want to tell users how to use some RDF service, or find out how to use an existing service, you need some mechanism for defining interfaces. If you then want to mechanically complete client data or validate graphs posted to a service, you need a tool which exploits that mechanism. In either case, please help us meet your needs by submitting use cases and proposals to the W3C RDF Validation Workshop. If you've got great ideas for languages or re-use of existing tools to solve these sorts of use cases, you may want to submit those as well. Please read through the CFP and send any questions or comments to me (eric@w3.org) or the PC (group-rdf-val-pc@w3.org). If you think this should go to other lists, please forward. Thanks! RDF Validation Workshop - Practical Assurances for Quality RDF Data 10-11 September 2013, Cambridge, MA, USA <http://www.w3.org/2012/12/rdf-val/> While the Semantic Web has demonstrated considerable value for collaborative contributions to data, adoption in many mission-critical environments requires data to conform to specified patterns. This need for interface defintions spans domains. For instance, validation in a banking context shares many requirements with quality assurance of linked clinical data. Systems like Linked Open Data, which don't have formal interface specifications, share these validation needs. Development of standards and tools to meet these requirements can greatly increase the utility and ubiquity of Semantic Web data. Most data representation languages used in conventional settings offer some sort of input validation, ranging from parsing grammars for domain-specific languages to XML Schema, RelaxNG or Schematron for XML structures. While the distributed nature of RDF affects the notions of "validity", tool chains need to be established to publish interface definitions and ensure data integrity. This workshop combines discussion of use cases for data validation/interface defintion on the Semantic Web with development of technologies to enable those use cases. If you are interested in presenting, please submit a position paper by 30 June 2013. If you need a short extension, please contact the PC. See additional Workshop details and submission instructions: <http://www.w3.org/2012/12/rdf-val/participate.php> The workshop is hosted by MIT.
