RDF Validation Workshop - Practical Assurances for Quality RDF Data

   22 May 2013 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9834

   W3C announced today a RDF Validation Workshop - Practical
   Assurances for Quality RDF Data, 10-11 September 2013, in
   Cambridge, USA. 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. 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. 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 or RelaxNG
   for XML structures. While the distributed nature of RDF affects
   the notions of "validity", tool chains need to be established
   to ensure data integrity. The goal of this workshop is to
   discuss use cases for data validation on the Semantic Web with
   development of technologies to enable those use cases. W3C
   membership is not required to participate. The event is open to
   all. All participants are required to submit a position paper
   by 30 June 2013.

   for when they are triggered. Learn more about the Security
   Activity.
