14:05:20 <ShaneM> ShaneM: I HATE this new name - it doesn't have RDFa in there anywhere. It's like having a group called "The Web Serialization Formats Working Group" and then having them be the group that works on HTML.

14:17:29 <Benjamin> This is really a great news!

Benjamin Adrian: This is really a great news!

14:17:40 <ShaneM> Manu: They're focusing upon RDF and RDFa - but also support Microformats via hNews. The NYT has rich semantic data, hand-curated going back to the early 1900s. They want to be the public record for all the news in the world - semantics make sense for them.

14:19:23 <Steven_> Mark and I talked to IPTC years ago on using rdfa. Glad it's finally happened

Steven Pemberton: Mark and I talked to IPTC years ago on using rdfa. Glad it's finally happened

14:19:25 <ShaneM> Yes, it seems that many of us have had contact with them over the years and it finally resonated with a number of people there. Evan Sandhaus gets a great deal of the credit for making this happen - he's been very forward-looking with semantics and the news industry. Lots of others involved and responsible for the push to adopt rNews, of course. It's going to really pay off for the international news community in the long run.

14:23:59 <manu> Topic: ISSUE-85: Projections and Property Groups

3. ISSUE-85: Projections and Property Groups

14:24:16 <manu> Manu: Projections and Property Groups are now a single concept. The API is cleaner because of it, the cognitive load on the developer has been lessed because of it - it is a good change as far as Nathan and I are concerned.

14:35:06 <ShaneM> ShaneM: There have been a few comments on the mailing list that "latest version" is confusing - we should tighten up the language, it's an editorial change.
