The XSI technical committee is attempting to standardize the 2.0 version of their specification. After 3 years, the W3C is still not convinced about the need for yet another URI scheme. With one of the original intentions behind XRI (Web Services and more "complex" objects on the Web) clearly not in need of XRI, is this a standard too far?
The Linking Open Data Community Project has accomplished a global RESTful SOA giving access to over two billion interlinked statements (RDF triples) from some 50 distributed providers with one serious limitation: this stunning network provides read access only. The upcoming SPARQL Update language is going to overcome this.
What might this be: "envisioned as a decentralised world-wide information space for sharing machine-readable data with a minimum of integration costs"? Is this about REST? Nope. According to SWEO, it is about the Semantic Web. Cool URIs will help making this way. So it might be worth looking whether RESTful SOA URIs can also be "cool".
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has published a draft of the HTML 5 specification, which reflects the changing nature of the web since HTML 4 was released more than 10 years ago.
10 reasons to consider using RELAX-NG in place of W3C XML Schemas as your XML schema language.
The Semantic Annotations for WSDL and XML Schema (SAWSDL) reached recommendation status on August 28 2007, turning it into a "W3C Standard".
The W3C has recently announced the first public draft for the Efficient XML Interchange Format which is a suggestion for compressing XML to increase the efficiency on the wire and on CPUs. As can be expected it didn't take too long before we started to see some criticism of this new standard...Yes, another debate on binary XML is on its way.
WSDL 2.0 has finally been approved as an official World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation on June 27 2007. The Web Services Description Working Group has been working on the standards for more than 6 years. The recommendation was due on the 31st of December 2006 but has received an extension to the 30th of June this year.
