The W3C has a formal track for making standards specs. The specs answer a lot of questions, but not all of them. This wiki is for connecting the people who make the specs with the people who build on them.

Pages here have no formal status but may have WikiConsensus. Questions & answers here may be misleading, or just plain wrong. Or, they may be useful.

Notable topics include:

• Quality Assurance, MarkupValidator, TrackingIssues, UriTesting

• GoodURIs, HCLSIG BioRDF Subgroup/Tasks/URI Best Practices

• Semantic Web FAQs, SemanticWebTools, SPARQL, CategoryGrddl, OwlAuthoringTools

  • emerging topics: LinkedData, RdfAndSql, EmbeddingRDFinHTML, RDFa

• Security, starting around March 2006, for discussion on W3C Security-related specifications and enhancements to XML-Dsig

• SchemaComposition and topics related to XML Schema, prompted by the W3C Workshop on XML Schema 1.0 User Experiences

• MailingLists, InternetRelayChat, JabberChickenEgg, ConnectingAudiences, ScheduledTopicChat, AdvancedDevelopment

• Local communities See: Category Gatherings

• Semantic Web Education and Outreach Interest Group

• Semantic Bioinformatics

• Semantic Annotations for RESTful Services

• Job Mart - looking for work in the field? Looking for employees?

Traditional WikiWikiWeb starting points:

• RecentChanges: see where people are currently working (see also MailingLists)

• HelpForBeginners: to get you going

• WikiSandBox: feel free to change this page and experiment with editing

• FindPage: search or browse the database in various ways

We also keep notes AboutThisService, like WikiUpgrade.

WikiSpam is a problem here. The worst offenders spam in CJK, so seeing as there is currently no non-spam content here using CJK, as of July 16 2008 we will ban CJK ideographs on a trial basis using LocalBadContent. If this creates a problem for you, please contact MarkBaker and we'll look for another solution.
