Abstract This is the report of the W3C Uncertainty Reasoning for the World Wide Web Incubator Group (URW3-XG) as specified in the Deliverables section of its charter. In this report we present requirements for better defining the challenge of reasoning with and representing uncertain information available through the World Wide Web and related WWW technologies.

Specifically the report: The report identifies various areas which require further investigation and debate.

Abstract This document describes some critical requirements for an interoperability information framework for emergency management, and provides candidate components of an ontology that can support interoperability for some common use cases.

The CAMELEON Unified Reference Framework [CCB02] [CCTLBV03] was produced by the EU-funded CAMELEON Project [CAM-Proj] and results from two key principles: CAMELEON describes a framework that serves as a reference for classifying UIs supporting multiple targets, or multiple contexts of use in the field of context-aware computing. Furthermore, the CAMELEON Framework provides a unified understanding of context-sensitive UIs rather than a prescription of various ways or methods of tackling different steps of development. 2.2.1 The Context of Use Context is an all-embracing term. Composed of “con” (with) and “text”, context refers to the meaning that must be inferred from the adjacent text. As a result, to be operational, context can only be defined in relation to a purpose, or finality [CRO02].

While the above definition is rather general, thus encompassing many aspects, it is not directly operational. Thus, a context of use is a triple composed by (U, P, E) Multi-target (or multi-context) UI. Product Modelling using Semantic Web Technologies. Abstract This W3C Incubator Group (XG) seeks to enable the use of the (Semantic) Web for Product Modelling (PM): the definition, storage, exchange and sharing of product data.

Product data is information about the structure and behaviour of things that are realized in industrial processes. So principally product data is about things that are manmade, but it can also be about things in the natural world that interact with those industrial processes and/or its resulting products. Typical products would include automobiles, airplanes, buildings, infrastructures, ships and other manmade complex products. This report describes the role and scope of product data, and initial work in two technical areas: Quantities, Units & Scales; and Product Structure - the decomposition of wholes in parts and the interconnection relationships between these parts.

A Standards-based, Open and Privacy-aware Social Web. The Social Web is a set of relationships that link together people over the Web. The Web is an universal and open space of information where every item of interest can be identified with a URI. While the best known current social networking sites on the Web limit themselves to relationships between people with accounts on a single site, the Social Web should extend across the entire Web.

Just as people can call each other no matter which telephone provider they belong to, just as email allows people to send messages to each other irrespective of their e-mail provider, and just as the Web allows links to any website, so the Social Web should allow people to create networks of relationships across the entire Web, while giving people the ability to control their own privacy and data. The standards that enable this should be open and royalty-free. This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. 1. Further, the members of the XG conclude: 2. 3.
