A meeting of the Semantic Web Interest Group (SW IG, formerly RDF IG) is scheduled for the 1st and 2nd March 2004, during the W3C Technical Plenary week.

This Interest Group is a continuation of the RDF Interest Group. See the Interest Group charter for more details on the group, including our mission, membership and discussion fora.

The Technical Plenary Week continues after the SW IG meeting (mon/tues 1st and 2nd of March), with a wednesday plenary session, followed by further meetings of W3C groups on thur/fri 4th and 5th March. Note that there is a Semantic Web Best Practices WG meeting planned for thursday and friday of TP week. Both meetings are likely to address the relationship between BPD WG and SW IG. In brief, the two groups have related goals, but differing membership models and work styles. The SW IG is designed to complement the work of W3C's Semantic Web Working Groups through providing a broader public forum for collaboration and discussion. The BPD WG meeting is intended primarily for WG members, although observers may be allowed (see meeting page for details).
