Zepheira will be presenting two papers at the W3C RDF Next Step Workshop on the future of RDF on June 26-27, 2010. The goal of the workshop is to gather feedback from the Semantic Web community on whether and in which direction RDF should evolve.
Zepheira will present a new RESTful RDF Store API supporting named queries and change isolation. Zepheira will also propose alternative handling of rdf:List in SPARQL. For more information on the workshop and to review the papers look here.
Zepheira Partner David Wood will co-chair a W3C Workshop on the future of RDF sometime in the summer of 2010 with Stefan Decker of DERI and Ivan Herman of the W3C. The goal of the workshop is to gather feedback from the Semantic Web community on whether and in which direction RDF should evolve. Participants will discuss a possible revision of the 2004 RDF Recommendation (tentatively called RDF 2.0). Read more
The W3C and its members have long sought the ability to mix extractable structured content with existing publishing processes to improve the machine-processability of the Web. Microformats have been a successful step in this direction, but the models embraced by the domain-specific formats are not global or interoperable. The rich layers of the Semantic Web initiative have not easily been integrated until now allowing documents to indicate metadata that can be expressed in the Resource Description Framework (RDF) model.
