Call for Review: RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing Proposed
Recommendation
The Semantic Web Deployment Working Group and XHTML2 Working Group
have published the Proposed Recommendation of "RDFa in XHTML: Syntax
and Processing." The modern Web is made up of an enormous number of
documents that have been created using HTML. These documents contain
significant amounts of structured data, which is largely unavailable
to tools and applications. When publishers can express this data
more completely, and when tools can read it, a new world of user
functionality becomes available, letting users transfer structured
data between applications and web sites, and allowing browsing
applications to improve the user experience. RDFa is a specification
for attributes to express structured data in any markup language.
The groups have also published an implementation report as part of
the Candidate Recommendation phase. Comments are welcome through 03
October. Learn more about the Semantic Web.

Representing Content in RDF and HTTP Vocabulary in RDF Drafts Published
The Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group today published
"Representing Content in RDF" as a First Public Working Draft. This
document provides a vocabulary to represent content in RDF, and is
flexible for any type of content available on the Web or in local
storage media. The Working Group also published an an updated
Working Draft of "HTTP Vocabulary in RDF," which defines terms to
allow HTTP headers that have been exchanged between a client and a
server to be recorded in RDF. These documents can be used to extend
the "Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) 1.0 Schema," an RDF
vocabulary to record test results such as those generated by Web
accessibility evaluation tools. They are part of the EARL
Specification. Learn more about the Web Accessibility Initiative.

Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Impacts First Public Draft
The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group has published the First
Public Working Draft of "Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Impacts."
EXI defines a new representation for the Extensible Markup Language
(XML) Information Set. The introduction of such a format may cause
disruption in systems that have so far been able to assume XML as
the only representation of XML Information Set data. This document
reviews areas where the introduction of EXI may disrupt or otherwise
have an impact on existing XML technologies, XML processors, and
applications. It also describes EXI design features and steps that
may be taken by implementors to reduce or eliminate disruption and
impacts. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
Activity.
