Latest Info

Dan Brickley (RDF IG chair) wasn't able to attend the Tech Plenary. The meeting is still going ahead, with Eric Miller (Semantic Web Activity Lead) coordinating. The agenda is pretty flexible, and will be based around a "show and tell" theme, with lightening presentations on RDF and SW projects, applications etc. from attendees.

Goals

The goal of this RDF Interest Group meeting is to explore the role of the Interest Group within the Semantic Web Activity, to provide a venue for a developer "show and tell" session focussing on RDF-based tools, applications and services, and to exchange experiences with work on topics such as RDF query, rdf-calendar, ontology and rule languages.

• The Semantic Web Activity and RDF Core WG, WebOnt WG - how can RDF IG support the WG efforts better?
• Communications: mailing lists, IRC...
• "Show and tell" session?
• RDF query update: who has built what? how much is in common?
• RDF-calendar: update and plans
