First Public Working Draft of SPARQL New Features and Rationale
Fri, 2009-07-03 14:28 — Alex.I'm pleased to announce that the W3C SPARQL Working Group has just published the First Public Working Draft of SPARQL New Features and Rationale, i.e. description and motivations of the new features to be included in the next version of SPARQL.
The W3C SPARQL Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft of SPARQL New Features and Rationale. This document provides an overview of the main new features of SPARQL and their rationale. This is an update to SPARQL adding several new features that have been agreed by the SPARQL WG. These language features were determined based on real applications and user and tool-developer experience. (Via W3C Semantic Web Activity News)
If you're implementing SPARQL engines, please note that the current syntaxes for each features are example syntax, and then should not be considered as final in any way. Any comments regarding this draft are welcomed by e-mail to public-rdf-dawg-comments@w3.org.
Call for suggested features by the SPARQL Working Group
Sat, 2009-03-07 14:22 — Alex.As already e-mailed and blogged, the SPARQL Working Group is currently gathering a list of features to extend the current state of SPARQL.
Feedback outside the WG is highly welcome, so if you're using some particular extension or hacked some new features (whatever it is regarding language, protocol, etc.) and you think they should be taken into consideration by the WG, please follow the guidelines and add your own by next tuesday. The WG will then decide which features it will focus on.
SDoW2008: Program and proceedings
Wed, 2008-10-22 21:34 — Alex.The program of SDoW2008 has just been published on the workshop website. In addition to the 7 full papers, 2 short papers and 2 demos, there will be two keynotes: the first one by Peter Mika on "Semantic Search and the Social Web" and the second one by Harry Halpin entitled "Beyond Walled Gardens: Open Standards for the Social Web". Attending TPAC this week, I can tell that the second one is really a hot-topic: there were some discussions yesterday in the SWIG group meeting, two related lightning talks today, and an upcoming "Workshop on the Future of Social Networking" lead by the W3C Mobile Web Initiative.
The SDoW proceedings were also officially published today on CEUR-WS, volume 405:
http://CEUR-WS.org/Vol-405. If you're attending the workshop, consider reading it before, as it might help Q/A and discussions. There will also be a lightnight talk session, so that any attendee will be able to present his works / ideas regarding Social Web and the Semantic Web.
