W3C Launches Provenance Working Group; Renews RDF Web Applications Working Group

W3C announced a new Provenance Working Group, whose mission is to support the widespread publication and use of provenance information of Web documents, data, and resources. The Working Group will publish W3C Recommendations that define a language for exchanging provenance information among applications. See the Provenance Working Group Charter for more information.

W3C also renewed the RDF Web Applications Working Group, formerly the RDFa Working Group. The mission of the group is to support the developing use of RDF for embedding and handling structured data in Web documents in general. The Working Group will publish W3C Recommendations to extend and enhance the currently published RDFa 1.0 documents, including an API, as well as a general RDF API aimed at ECMAScript. The Working Group will also support the HTML Working Group in its work on incorporating RDFa in HTML5 and XHTML5 (as a followup on the the currently published Working Draft for RDFa 1.0 in HTML5). See the RDF Web Applications Working Group Charter for more information, and read more about the Semantic Web.
