POWDER Formal Semantics First Working Draft Published

The Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER) Working Group
has published the First Public Working Draft of "Protocol for Web
Description Resources: Formal Semantics." This document underpins
the Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER). It describes
how the relatively simple operational format of a POWDER document
can be transformed through two stages, first into a more tightly
constrained XML format (POWDER-BASE), and then into an RDF/OWL
encoding (POWDER-S) that may be processed by Semantic Web tools. The
formal semantics of POWDER are best understood after the reader is
acquainted with the "Description Resources" and "Grouping of
Resources" documents. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.
