POWDER Formal Semantics First Working Draft Published

   The Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER) Working Group
   has published the First Public Working Draft of "Protocol for Web
   Description Resources: Formal Semantics." This document underpins
   the Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER). It describes
   how the relatively simple operational format of a POWDER document
   can be transformed through two stages, first into a more tightly
   constrained XML format (POWDER-BASE), and then into an RDF/OWL
   encoding (POWDER-S) that may be processed by Semantic Web tools. The
   formal semantics of POWDER are best understood after the reader is
   acquainted with the "Description Resources" and "Grouping of
   Resources" documents. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.
