Defend the Open Web: Keep DRM Out of W3C Standards. Update, 2013-3-21: you can take action against DRM at the W3C by joining Defective By Design's campaign. There's a new front in the battle against digital rights management (DRM) technologies. These technologies, which supposedly exist to enforce copyright, have never done anything to get creative people paid. Instead, by design or by accident, their real effect is to interfere with innovation, fair use, competition, interoperability, and our right to own things. The proposal... claims that "no 'DRM' is added to the HTML5 specification" by EME.

This is like saying, "we're not vampires, but we are going to invite them into your house" That's why we were appalled to learn that there is a proposal currently before the World Wide Web Consortium's HTML5 Working Group to build DRM into the next generation of core Web standards. In the past two decades, there has been an ongoing struggle between two views of how Internet technology should work. Notation3 Resources. Up to Design Issues An readable language for the Semantic Web Introduction This accompanies the N3 specification. Resources on Notation3 include the following: Try it! See also SWAG: Notation3 to RDF Converter, which (as of Aug 2001) is more actively maintained than this form. Also: Implementations: Grammars and parsers The original hand-written grammar is a bit crufty; several more formal grammars have been developed.

This list may be very inaccurate and probably out of date. Test Suites Here are some manifests of test files. Parser implementers are encouraged to generate test results in RDF in the same form, so that results from multiple implementations can be tabulated. Test result matrix Reification Notation3, of any level, can be represneted as an RDF graph using a vocabulary < This reification also allows an RDF graph to be described, quoted, within another RDF graph. Identifying <#ora> x:firstname "Ora". Semantic Web Tutorial Using N3. Examples - Getting ino the semantic web and RDF using N3. W3C | Semantic Web | SWAP This is a collection of examples to accompany the Primer.

(The files have URIs starting if you are reading this on paper.) These are designed as examples, to show how something can be done, not as working products. Remember, to convert an RDF document from n3 syntax into xml syntax, cwm xxx.n3 -rdf should do it among other things. I haven't exhaustively tested all combinations of n3 and RDF in all cases. Merging graphs When explaining why the semantic web needs to be a web not a tree, I used slides showing information in blue from one source (blue links) with that from another sources (red and green links). The first diagram shows some information maybe from someone's personal information that they will attend an event which has a given home page.

The key point, of course, is that URIs are used to identify the overlap concepts such as the person, meeting and its home page. The red arcs ( in N3 , in XML ) Ontologies in DAML. RDF Test Cases. W3C Recommendation 10 February 2004 New Version Available: "RDF 1.1 Test Cases" (Document Status Update, 25 February 2014) The RDF Working Group has produced a W3C Recommendation for a new version of RDF which adds features to this 2004 version, while remaining compatible. Please see "RDF 1.1 Test Cases" for a new version of this document, and the "What's New in RDF 1.1" document for the differences between this version of RDF and RDF 1.1. This Version: Latest Version: Previous Version: Editors: Jan Grant, (ILRT, University of Bristol) Dave Beckett, (ILRT, University of Bristol) Series editor: Brian McBride (Hewlett Packard Labs) Please refer to the errata for this document, which may include some normative corrections.
