Events, and workshops being held around the world to help further the advancments of XML, and other markup languages.
The goal of this workshop is to disseminate the main results of the Model-Based UI XG and to identify opportunities and challenges for new open standards in the area of Model-Based User Interfaces:
* What are the main benefits for Model-Based UI?
* What are the next steps to be taken concerning standardization?
* Is it feasible and opportune to start an standardization process now?
* What are the technologies that call for standardization?
* What needs to be standardized, models, syntaxes, both?
* What companies and institutions are interested in participating in the process?
* What liaisons need to be established?
* What is the roadmap to be followed?
The workshop also aims at creating a community of interested parties, with a view to defining the charter of a W3C Working Group on the topic.
The main outcome of the workshop will be the publication of a report that will serve as a guide for further work in W3C

The goal of the workshop is to gather feedback from the Web community on whether and, if yes, in which direction RDF should evolve. One of the main issues the Workshop should help deciding is whether it is timely for W3C to start a new RDF Working Group to define and standardize a next version of RDF.
While a new version of RDF may include changes in terms of features, semantics, and serialization syntax(es), backward compatibility is of a paramount importance. Indeed, RDF has been deployed by tools and applications, and the last few years have seen a significant uptake of Semantic Web technologies and publication of billions of triples stemming from public databases (see, eg, the Linked Open Data community). It would be, therefore, detrimental to this evolution if RDF was seen as unstable and if the validity of current application would be jeopardized by a future evolution. As a consequence, with any changes of RDF, backward compatibility requirements should be formalized, along the lines of, say:
* any valid RDF graphs (in terms of the RDF 2004 version) should stay valid in terms of a new version of RDF; and
* any RDFS entailment drawn on RDF graphs using the 2004 semantics should be valid entailement in terms of a new version of RDF
The main outcome of the workshop will be the publication of a workshop proceedings and, in case there is a consensus on moving forward, a draft for a charter for a newly created RDF Working Group.

Currently, a number of institutions across the countries are working to evolve better models to provide collaborative technology services for scholarship by creating shared cyberspace thro expert collaboration, but this is a challenge for the institutions for a number of reasons. In the last few years, the landscape of digital technology applications projects for the various disciplines in humanities, social sciences, and sciences appears induced by many initiatives. For the creation of research clusters, the research community has thousands of databases, websites, local computing clusters, and web-based tools around individual themes, interests and projects. In most cases, these tools and resources are and were created to meet the specific needs of a particular community. In many cases, the funding and support for these critical initiatives is fragile and temporary, and directed in piecemeal fashion. There is a need to provide concerted efforts in building federated digital technologies that will enable the formation of network of digital technologies.
