[We're amassing our toys.] Based on a recent interview on Tim B-L's view of the W3C Semantic Web Activity (http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/03/21/timbl.html): ==================================================================== ED: I'd like to ask about the Advanced Development side of the new Activity, which aims to involve non-W3C members in the development of the Semantic Web. Isn't this openness unusual? TBL: We always design the Activity to suit the needs of the community at the time. Examples of infrastructural work in which we did this are the HTTP, URI, and XML Signature work. We wanted the attention of the community experts, and things required wide review. More of our Activities and working groups are moving toward a more public model; XML Protocol is a perfect example. SW needs to be really open, as many resources for its growth are from the academic world. We need people who may at some point want to give the group the benefit of their experience, without having a permanent relationship with the consortium. It's not particularly novel. It's combining the RDF Interest Group with W3C internal development stuff. We need to find what the Knowledge Representation community have got that's ripe for standardization, and what it hasn't and so on. Coordination will be very important. ==================================================================== I would suggest that activities like yours (amassing the SW toys) be conducted as part of the W3C Semantic Web Advanced Development (http://www.w3.org/2000/01/sw/). Although I was very surprised (and disappointed) by not seeing any mention of TM on that page, TBL's response as shown above gave me hope.
