Last Call: Cool URIs for the Semantic Web
The Semantic Web Education and Outreach (SWEO) Interest Group has
published the Last Call Working Draft of "Cool URIs for the Semantic
Web." The Resource Description Framework (RDF) allows users to
describe both Web documents and concepts from the real world —
people, organizations, topics, things — in a computer-processable
way. Publishing such descriptions on the Web creates the Semantic
Web. URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) are very important to the
Semantic Web, providing both the core of the framework itself and
the link between RDF and the Web. This document presents guidelines
for the effective use of URIs in the context of the Semantic Web.
Comments are welcome through 28 March. Learn more about the Semantic
Web Activity.

Call for Review: XML Base (Second Edition) Proposed Edited
Recommendation
The XML Core Working Group has published the Proposed Edited
Recommendation of "XML Base (Second Edition)." This document
describes a facility, similar to that of HTML BASE, for defining
base URIs for parts of XML documents. All changes to the document
are recorded in the XML Base Errata document. Comments are welcome
through 30 June. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language
(XML) Activity.
