> After two months of weekly telephone conferences, the first face-to-face
> meeting of the Joint EU/US ad hoc Agent Markup Language Committee was
> organised in Washington DC on 7-8 December 2000, to coincide with
> XML 2000,
> the major industry event on XML technology.
>
> The day before the face-to-face meeting, Tim Berners-Lee (director of W3C,
> and member of the Joint Committee) gave an invited talk at
> XML2000 outlining
> the vision and architecture of the Semantic Web, mentioning DAML
> and OIL as
> core ingredients. A journalist report of Tim's talk can be found at
> http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/12/xml2000/timbl.html. The slides for his
> presentation can be found at
> http://www.w3.org/2000/Talks/1206-xml2k-tbl/slide1-0.html
>
> Participants:
>
>     Tim Berners-Lee (W3C, by telephone 1/2 day)
>     Dan Connolly (W3C)
>     Mike Dean (DAML, committee chair)
>     Frank van Harmelen (OIL)
>     Jeff Heflin (DAML)
>     Jim Hendler (DAML programme head)
>     Ian Horrocks (OIL)
>     Ora Lassila (W3C)
>     Deb McGuinness (DAML)
>
> New DAML language release:
>
> One of the major outcomes of the meeting was the decision to produce a new
> release of the DAML-O markup language. This release will be
> called DAML+OIL,
> and will closely follow the proposal made earlier by Ian Horrocks
> and Peter
> Patel-Schneider (see http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~horrocks/DAML-OIL). This
> release is expected before the end of the calendar year.
>
> Ian Horrocks will serve as editor for the DAML+OIL release.
>
> Future evolution of the Working group
>
>   1.We anticipate that W3C will convene a Working Group
>     (probably the RDF Schema Working Group) to develop an
> ontology language
>   2.We will package up our then-current language specification
>     (more below) and contribute it to the Working Group
>   3.We anticipate that W3C will convene a public Interest Group
>     (probably www-rdf-logic) to focus longer-term on rules and logic.
>   4.We will proceed in parallel with the Interest Group, providing it
>     with drafts and experimental results as they become available.
>     Many committee members are likely to join the Interest Group.
>     Since the W3C Interest Group would be public, membership in the
>     Joint Committee can be limited to government funded US and EU Semantic
> Web
>     participants plus invited experts.
>     Other groups and activities may similarly contribute to the
>     W3C Interest Group.
>
> The W3C groups probably won't be formed before March 2001. Most of our
> activity until then will be focused on preparing our current work for
> transition.
