An occasional meeting of W3Québec, a group who are interested in web standards in francophone Canada, was the opportunity to talk about the Semantic Web. It motivated some work on translation of existing resources, and hopefull also some more development by francophones, which can only help dissemination across Europe and particularly french-speaking Africa.
Material produced for the session included a french translation of Hera, a tool designed to help assess web accesibility and produce results in RDF, as well as a french version of my "Introduction to RDF via CWM" (I really should make an english version, although there is plenty of material in english already).
Thanks to all who participated, especially Karl Dubost of W3C for his lively explanations and re-explanations, Monique and Alex for logistics support, and above all Catherine Roy, who organised the whole thing.
