Fwd: RDFCore last call WD's

This is a copy of the formal announcement that RDFCore has advanced its 
documents to last call, sent, as per w3c process, to the chairs list.

Last call means that the WG thinks that it has met its charter and resolved 
its technical issues.  We have published WD's as we went along and are 
grateful for your feedback.  Now its time for a last test and review of the 
work.

Please read and review these specs, sending your comments to 
www-rdf-comments@w3.org by 21 Feb 2003 so that together we make them as 
good as they can be.

We'd particularly like to hear about implementations that exist or are 
planned.

Brian McBride, Dan Brickley
RDFCore co-chairs
