What is new in W3C land
2009 Semantic Technology Conference
San Jose, California, USA
June 15, 2009
Ivan Herman, W3C

Lots of things are happening at W3C:
technology work
POWDER, OWL 2, RIF, SPARQL, RDFa, SKOS, media (primarily video) annotations, Linked Open Data community
thematic Interest Groups (acting or planned)
Health Care and Life Sciences, XBRL, eGovernment
incubator groups
Semantic Sensor Webs, Social Spaces, Product Modelling
What I will do…
Highlight some technologies that have been under development
… and may not have received all the attention they deserve (yet!)
Unfortunately, there is no time to go into the details of what the thematic groups do
Some of the topics are part of the conference program directly:
RDFa (Tuesday morning, Mark Birbeck)
Linked Data (Tuesday morning, Paul Miller et al)
OWL 2 (Tuesday afternoon panel, Mike Smith et al.)
XBRL (Tuesday afternoon, Dianne Mueller and Dave Raggett)
RDF Redux (Tuesday afternoon, Pat Hayes)
OWL 2 RL Reasoning (Thursday afternoon, Chris Matheus)
Many of the technologies will be addressed, some way or other, in most of the talks, too
But first: do you remember this image from last year
The Semantic Web has many facets, many different communities, many possible emphasis
I will take a particular route to link things together
But this is not a "canonical" one, there might be many different ways of looking at the family of technologies
A thread that binds lots of of the issues together…
Linking Open Data Project
I am cheating here a bit…
W3C was, sort of, a midwife assisting at the birth of the LOD project
it was initiated as a "Community Project" by the SWEO IG
but the child has grown since, became successful, and is running fairly independently of W3C
That being said…
