Tim Berners-Lee Appointed Member of the Order of Merit by Queen
Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II, Head of State of the United Kingdom, appointed
Sir Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide
Web, to be a member of the Order of Merit. Founded in 1902, the
Order of Merit is an honor conferred by the sovereign of the United
Kingdom to individuals for "exceptionally meritorious service,"
usually in the arts, learning, literature and sciences. Twenty four
individuals plus foreign recipients may hold the honor at one time.
"Awards such as this are for public service, a service which in this
case has been largely carried out by the W3C. All those involved in
Consortium activity should feel recognized by this acknowledgment of
the importance of W3C's work," said Berners-Lee. Read the
announcement, about Tim Berners-Lee and about W3C.

SPARQL Query Language for RDF Is a Candidate Recommendation

W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of "SPARQL Query Language
for RDF" to Candidate Recommendation. With SPARQL (pronounced
"sparkle"), developers and end users can consume search results
across a wide range of information such as personal, technical,
business or scientific data, social networks, or data about digital
artifacts like music and images. SPARQL supports extensible value
testing and constrained queries, both when data is stored as RDF
natively or viewed as RDF via middleware. Results can be displayed
in results sets or as RDF graphs. Implementation feedback is invited
through 12 August. "SPARQL Query Results XML Format" is a Last Call
Working Draft with comments welcome through 5 July. Visit the
Semantic Web home page.
