Abstract
This report discusses an effort to apply the Resource Description
Framework (RDF) to iCalendar data in order to integrate calendar data
with other Semantic Web data such as social networking data, syndicated
content, and multimedia meta-data. We demonstrate the effectiveness of a
test-driven approach to vocabulary development and we discuss a number
of social as well as technical issues.


Status of this document

This draft discusses the state of the art in the RDF calendar task force
of the Semantic Web Interest Group in the Semantic Web Activity. This
work began at the Semantic Web calendaring workshop in October 2002.
While a number of issues remain open, the design is backed by a few
dozen test cases and it is increasingly useful and stable. Please send
comments to www-rdf-calendar@w3.org, a mailing list with public archive.

W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or
obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite
