Mission Statement

The task of the RDF in XHTML Taskforce is to:

• State requirements for representing metadata in RDF within an XHTML document
• Evaluate proposed solutions against those requirements.
• Recommend to the HTML CG and the SW CG how to proceed to achieve a common, widely accepted way of representing RDF metadata within an XHMTL document.

The task force is expected to report 2 months after it begins. Discussions of the task force will be public. The chair of the task force is Joseph Reagle. Membership of the task force is open to all those interested in facilitating the above tasks.
