|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <a href="Activity">Semantic Web Activity</a> has been
|
|
established to serve a leadership role, in both the design of
|
|
enabling specifications and the open, collaborative
|
|
development of technologies that support the automation,
|
|
integration and reuse of data across various applications. To
|
|
facilitate the effectiveness and efficiency of this Activity,
|
|
the Semantic Web Coordination Group is tasked to provide a
|
|
forum for managing the interrelationships and
|
|
interdependencies among groups focusing on standards and
|
|
technologies that relate to this goals of this Activity.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>
|
|
<a id="Scope" name="Scope">2. Purpose and Scope</a>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Semantic Web Coordination Group serves as an advisory
|
|
forum for the W3C Semantic Web Activity. This group is
|
|
designed to coordinate, facilitate and (where possible)
|
|
direct the efforts of other related groups to avoide
|
|
duplication of effort and fragmentation of the Semantic Web
|
|
by way of incompatible standards and technologies. The
|
|
Coordination Group has the latitude for chartering additional
|
|
Working Groups in order to support the Activity.
|
|
</p>
