Defining N-ary Relations on the Semantic Web

   The Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment (SWBPD) Working Group
   has released the First Public Working Draft of "Defining N-ary
   Relations on the Semantic Web: Use With Individuals." In Semantic Web
   languages like RDF and OWL, a property links two individuals or an
   individual and a value. This draft presents patterns and considerations
   for representing relations between more than two individuals. Comments
   are welcome. Visit the Semantic Web home page.

Working Drafts: XML Schema 1.1

   The XML Schema Working Group has released the First Public Working
   Draft of XML Schema 1.1 in two parts: "Part 1: Structures" and "Part 2:
   Datatypes." The drafts include change logs from the XML Schema 1.0
   language and are based on version 1.1 requirements. XML schemas define
   shared markup vocabularies, the structure of XML documents which use
   those vocabularies, and provide hooks to associate semantics with them.
