= Work Plan for URI-Related Recommendations Document =

Status of this page: Proposal by [[JonathanRees]].  Original 2007-06-25, revised 2007-09-10

The purpose of this page is to document the procedure that we (the BioRDF subgroup) intend to use in order to produce a document that is to give recommendations related to the choice and use of URIs in the Semantic Web for health care and life sciences.

The topic of URIs seems to be of interest to the entire HCLS group, but the BioRDF subgroup is taking responsibility for it.  Anyone in HCLS who cares should pay attention to what BioRDF is doing in this area.  Meeting announcements, minutes, and progress on the document will be reported on the public-semweb-lifesci list.

The document is to be published via W3C, as a work product of the HCLS interest group.

The editor of the report will be [[JonathanRees]], although if an alternative candidate steps forward, the BioRDF subgroup should be happy to consider him/her.

Some kind of attention either from the W3C TAG or from a W3C TAG member will be highly desirable.  Our W3C liaison (Eric P) will [no apparent progress as of 9/10] investigate how to bring this about.

Before tackling the problem of specific recommendations, it is desirable to figure out what the document is supposed to accomplish and not accomplish, and what the requirements are on any proposed recommendations - what problems they are supposed to solved, for whom, and in what way.

The 'home page' for this task is [[/../Recommendations]]
