To reinforce what Dan says: translation *intent* as well as announcement of publishable translations are to be announced on the translation mailing list of W3C: w3c-translators@w3.org. Once an announcement is made, it is my job to make some basic tests and to put it into the rdf files that drive http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Translation/. Indeed, I do not do any notification at this moment. However, the Spanish office is thinking of implementing a local, automatic mechanism on their site that could also monitor the changes; details are still in discussion. I would let them do this rather than duplicate the work. I have copied this mail to Jose, the local manager. Ivan Dan: you can get to an RDF/XML portion on OWL translations by: http://www.w3.org/2003/03/Translations/byTechnology?technology=owl&output=RDF No need for extra query. Of course, it is geeky to do it;-) Ivan Dan Connolly wrote on 08/05/2004 00:53: > On Fri, 2004-05-07 at 16:16, Pat Hayes wrote: > [...] > >>Indeed.
