RDF / OWL are W3C Recommendations

(my mail seems to be having some problems, so apologies for perhaps the 
duplicate announcement... but this story is so good, duplications seem 
to be appropriate :)

RDF and OWL are now W3C Recommendations

The World Wide Web Consortium today released the Resource Description 
Framework (RDF) and the OWL Web Ontology Language (OWL) as W3C 
Recommendations. RDF is used to represent information and to exchange 
knowledge in the Web. OWL is used to publish and share sets of terms 
called ontologies, supporting advanced Web search, software agents and 
knowledge management. Read the press release [1] for the full list of 
twelve documents, read the testimonials [3], and visit the Semantic Web 
home page [3] for more information.

Thanks to all (with a special thanks to Working and Interest Group 
members) who have made this work possible.
