I am pleased to announce the availability of a revised draft of a TAG finding, now titled "The Self-Describing Web" [1,2]. This replaces the draft [3] which had the title "The Importance of Self-Describing Documents". The title has been changed to reflect the fact that the finding discusses not just the creation of individual self-describing documents, but the self-describing qualities of the Web as a whole. This draft has been prepared for discussion at the June 2007 Face to Face Meeting of the TAG [4], and it is intended in part to address comments made at the March 2006 Face to Face Meeting of the TAG [5] (for some reason the minutes linked at [5] are W3C member-only; I expect we'll fix that shortly.) The material in chapters 1-3 is adapted from the previous version of the finding. I believe it's in reasonably good shape, and should be reviewed accordingly. Chapter 4 and its subsections are new, and are correspondingly rougher. I think even chapter 4 is easily good enough to make clear what material I intend to cover, but I do expect that it will need at very least some editorial work. It also has not yet benefited from any review by other members of the TAG. FYI: I have updated the references to this finding in the F2F agenda at [4], and also added a reference to it in the public list of draft TAG findings at [6]. I look forward to comments from the TAG at the F2F next week, and to comments from other readers of www-tag. Thank you!
