Last Call: TriG

20 September 2013
The RDF Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of TriG. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a general-purpose language for representing information in the Web. This document defines a textual syntax for RDF called TriG that allows an RDF dataset to be completely written in a compact and natural text form, with abbreviations for common usage patterns and datatypes. TriG is an extension of the Turtle [turtle] format. Comments are welcome through 11 October. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.

20 September 2013
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published two Working Drafts today:
