<p><span class="date">2008-06-03:</span> W3C launches today a <a href="/2007/eGov/">new forum</a> for governments, citizens, researchers, and other stakeholders to investigate how best to use Web technology for good governance and citizen participation. "Open Standards, and in particular Semantic Web Standards, can help lower the cost of government, make it easier for independent agencies to work together, and increase flexibility in the face of change," said Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director. W3C invites participation in the new <a href="/2007/eGov/IG/">eGovernment Interest Group</a>, which is open to the public. The group will identify best practices and guidelines in this area, document where current technology does not adequately address stakeholder needs, and suggest improvements via the standards process. Read the <a href="/2007/eGov/IG/faq">W3C eGovernment FAQ</a> and <a href="/2008/06/egov-pressrelease">press release</a>, and learn more about the <a href="/2007/eGov/">W3C eGovernment Activity</a>.<span class="archive"> (<a title="New eGovernment Activity to Help Improve Government through Better Use of the Web" href="/News/2008#item103" rel="details">Permalink</a>) </span></p></div>

The former describes a prototype of a biomedical knowledge base that integrates 15 distinct data sources using currently available Semantic Web technologies including RDF and OWL. The Note outlines which resources were integrated, how the knowledge base was constructed using free and open source triple store technology, how it can be queried using SPARQL, and what resources and inferences are involved in answering complex queries. While the utility of the knowledge base is illustrated by identifying a set of genes involved in Alzheimer's Disease, the approach described here can be applied to any use case that integrates data from multiple domains. The second document describe the experience of converting SenseLab databases into OWL, an important step towards realizing the benefits of Semantic Web in integrative neuroscience research.

This document defines the syntax and formal semantics of XQuery and XPath Full Text 1.0 which is a language that extends XQuery 1.0 [XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language] and XPath 2.0 [XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0] with full-text search capabilities. Implementors are encouraged to run the groups' <a href="http://dev.w3.org:/cvsweb/2007/xpath-full-text-10-test-suite/">test suite</a> and report their results. The Groups also published Working Drafts of <a href="/TR/2008/WD-xpath-full-text-10-requirements-20080516/">XQuery and XPath Full Text 1.0 Requirements</a> and <a href="/TR/2008/WD-xpath-full-text-10-use-cases-20080516/">Use Cases</a>.

The main differences from the previous draft are (1) the modularization of the language, (2) the introduction of profiles and (3) a revision of the algorithm for document interpretation; the document as a whole has changed significantly and the group welcomes review.

This literature review will inform WAI efforts to promote accessibility solutions for older Web users and potentially to develop profiles or extensions to WAI guidelines. The literature review is a deliverable of the <a href="/WAI/WAI-AGE/">WAI-AGE Project</a> (Ageing Education and Harmonisation). See the <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2008AprJun/0083.html">call for review and participation</a> for an introduction to the project and an invitation to contribute to the literature review and other WAI-AGE work; and about the <a href="/WAI/">Web Accessibility Initiative</a>.<span class="archive"> (<a title="Web Accessibility for Older Users: A Literature Review; Comments Welcome on First Public Draft" href="/News/2008#item92" rel="details">Permalink</a>) </span></p></div>

<div id="item91" class="item"><h3><img alt="" width="17" height="11" src="/Icons/right" />Last Call: CURIE Syntax 1.0</h3><p><span class="date">2008-05-08:</span> The <a href="/MarkUp/">XHTML2 Working Group</a> has published the Last Call Working Draft of <a href="/TR/2008/WD-curie-20080506">CURIE Syntax 1.0</a>, which outlines a syntax for expressing URIs in a generic, abbreviated syntax ("Compact URI"). The specification targets language designers who need a mechanism to permit the use of extensible value collections. Any language designer considering the use of QNames in attribute values should consider instead using CURIEs, since CURIEs are designed for this purpose, while QNames are not. Comments are welcome through 10 June.
