GRDDL Standard Provides Bridge from Web Documents to the Semantic Web
The World Wide Web Consortium today released "GRDDL" and "GRDDL Test
Cases" as Recommendations. GRDDL enables authors to extract data
from their documents automatically, enabling them to reuse their
data and enrich it by connecting to the Semantic Web. Give the W3C
GRDDL Service a try! Read the "GRDDL Primer," the press release and
testimonials, and about the Semantic Web.

OWL Group to Refine and Extend Web Ontology Language
W3C is pleased to announce the launch of the OWL Working Group. Ian
Horrocks (Oxford University) and Alan Ruttenberg (ScienceCommons)
chair the group which is chartered to produce a W3C Recommendation
for an extended Web Ontology Language (OWL), adding a small set of
extensions and defining profiles identified by users and tool
implementers. W3C Members may use this form to join the Working
Group. Read about Semantic Web.

Web Services Addressing Working Group Completes Work and Closes
W3C is pleased to announce that the Web Services Addressing Working
Group has successfully completed its work: the Web Services
Addressing 1.0 "Core," "SOAP Binding" and "Metadata"
Recommendations and a Working Group Note, "SOAP 1.1 Request Optional
Response HTTP Binding." The core properties allow uniform
addressing of Web services and messages, independent of the
underlying transport. Read about Web services.

Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) Version 1.1: Working Draft
The Voice Browser Working Group released an updated Working Draft of
"Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) Version 1.1." Changes from
the previous draft include the usage of XML 1.1 and IRIs, and the
specification of voice selection and language speaking control.
Version 1.1 improves on W3C's "SSML 1.0 Recommendation" by adding
support for more conventions and practices of the world's languages.

Last Call: XML Schema 1.1 Structures
The XML Schema Working Group has released a Last Call Working Draft
of "XML Schema 1.1 Part 1: Structures." Comments are welcome
through 8 November. XML schemas define shared markup vocabularies,
the structure of XML documents which use those vocabularies, and
provide hooks to associate semantics with them. Simplifications and
changes in this draft are to sections on rules for checking
validity, "all" groups, the PSVI, conformance, fallback for lax
validation, particles and wildcards, among other revisions. Visit
the XML home page.

Note: POWDER Use Cases and Requirements
The POWDER Working Group has released "POWDER: Use Cases and
Requirements" as a Working Group Note. The document will guide the
development of a way to attach small, easily-produced annotations to
large collections of Web content. Web resources can then be
retrieved, personalized and delivered in a variety of delivery
contexts to meet both social needs for content labels and commercial
requirements for content adaptation. Visit the Semantic Web home
page.

SAWSDL Working Group Completes Work and Closes
W3C is pleased to announce that the Semantic Annotations for WSDL
Working Group has successfully completed its work: the W3C
Recommendation "Semantic Annotations for WSDL and XML Schema"
(SAWSDL) and its companion "Usage Guide." With SAWSDL, semantic
annotations can be added to Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
components for use in classifying, discovering, matching, composing
and invoking Web services. Read about Web services.

Web Services Policy 1.5 Is a W3C Recommendation
The World Wide Web Consortium today released Web Services Policy 1.5
as a Recommendation. The Policy "Framework" defines a model for
expressing the nature of Web services in order to convey conditions
for their interaction. "Attachment" defines how to associate
policies, for example within WSDL or UDDI, with subjects to which
they apply. Read the press release, the testimonials and about the
Web Services Policy Working Group and Web services.

Web Services Addressing Metadata Is a W3C Recommendation
The World Wide Web Consortium today released "Web Services
Addressing 1.0 - Metadata" as a Recommendation. The specification is
used to indicate support for "Web Services Addressing 1.0" using
"Web Services Policy 1.5" and defines how to express WS-Addressing
properties in "WSDL." Read about the Web Services Addressing
Working Group and about Web services.
