Subject: New W3C proposal: enhancing RDFa
Those with a W3C login can read the full proposal here: http://www.w3.org/2009/11/SWActProp The publicly accessible draft charter for the WG is here: http://www.w3.org/2009/11/rdfa-wg-charter Essentially, the new WG would work to enhance RDFa so it works in HTML (today it is defined for XHTML), define an API for it, and (most interesting for us) define how RDFa can be used in other XML hosts. There appears to be explicit consideration given to ODF, as you can see in this paragraph of the draft charter: "Although formally defined as a module of XHTML1.1, there is a demand for the adaptation of RDFa to newer generations of HTML. Also, the RDFa attribute set has already been adopted by other XML applications, including the SVG 1.2 W3C Recommendation, the DataRSS format proposed by Yahoo, and Version 1.2 of the OpenDocument (ODF) format. Consequently, there is a need for the consolidation of these developments in the form of updated Recommendations." Obviously, since this WG has not yet formed, this activity can have no influence on ODF 1.2. But it does make sense, once their WG is established, to make them aware of our requirements and to work toward syncing up with them in ODF-Next. Also, after the WG is established, and if there is sufficient interest, it would be good to establish a liaison. -Rob
