Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 2.0 Is a Recommendation

   The World Wide Web Consortium today released the Web Services
   Description Language (WSDL) Version 2.0 as a Recommendation in three
   parts: "Part 0: Primer," "Part 1: Core Language" and "Part 2:
   Adjuncts." "In addition to the rigorous interoperability testing,
   we're pleased to have given developers the HTTP binding, which
   provides simple Web-friendly access to a service," said Jonathan
   Marsh (WSO2), Working Group co-Chair. WSDL models and describes
   modular Web services and is used to document distributed systems and
   to automate communication between applications. WSDL "SOAP 1.1
   Binding," "Additional MEPs" and "RDF Mapping" have been published
   as Working Group Notes. Read the testimonials and press release and
   about Web services.

GRDDL Primer: Working Group Note

   The GRDDL Working Group published "GRDDL Primer" as a Working Group
   Note. Linking microformats to the Semantic Web, the GRDDL mechanism
   is used to extract RDF statements from XHTML and XML content using
   programs such as XSLT. The primer contains detailed illustrations of
   GRDDL techniques. Visit the Semantic Web home page.

Best Practices for XML Internationalization

   The Internationalization Tag Set Working Group published an updated
   Working Draft of "Best Practices for XML Internationalization."
   These guidelines explain how XML application developers and XML
   content authors can create formats and content that enable use by
   speakers of a variety of languages and that facilitate the
   translation and localization process. The best practices are a
   complement to the "International Tag Set" Recommendation. Visit the
   Internationalization home page.
