SWI-Prolog RDF parser has been updated to conform to the latest RDF specifications, and now pases all the W3C tests. The parser can be evaluated using an on-line demo.

NYJavaSIG - New York Java Special Interests Group meeting February 4, 2003, including :
Duncan Johnston-Watt, CTO, Enigmatec Corp.
"The Semantic Web Needs Java Technology"

SCULPTEUR (news article) "...involves building an advanced database to store three-dimensional representations of museum artefacts and works of art together with information about those objects, so they can be studied online...

...finding good retrieval techniques based on colours and forms of images...

...previous project entitled ARTISTE focused on 2-D images and enabled the use of non-standard, multi-lingual queries across different image collections, for example, the term 'papillon' can be used to find images of 'butterfly' paintings in both the Louvre and the National Gallery. SCULPTEUR SCULPTEUR will extend this work using the latest semantic web technology"

#rdfig chump RSS feed - it's not immediately obvious from the RDF Interest Group IRC Scratchpad that a feed is available, but there it is.

SWAD-Europe Wiki. danbri says :
"I have set up a SWAD-Europe Wiki installation, as a place for quick note-taking, FAQ drafting and link sharing. Like many Wikis (and mailing lists, though that's a bit different), it is currently configured as a publically writable space. It may prove useful as a tool to support discussions in the RDF Interest Group and associated spin-off task forces (eg. RDF calendaring). Time will tell."
...
"More context: In the RDF Interest Group, we get a fair amount done by email and irc, but the same topics tend to recur without answers being drafted. Often an email or irc discussion thread will go some way towards answering the topic, but we've not yet been good at seeing things through to final documentation.

One goal I have for the Wiki installation is to allow active RDFIG members to gather FAQ background materials without centralised bottlenecks (or quality control / review)."

Annotea Protocols
Annotea currently specifies three kinds of protocols:

Annotation protocols (Section 2)
Describes the client-server interactions related to posting, downloading, updating, and deleting annotations.
Reply-to-annotation protocols (Section 3)
Describes the client-server interactions that support replies to annotations and thus promote threads of discussion.
Optimizing query requests (Section 4)
Describes special URI query parameters to combine queries in a single HTTP request.
In addition to defining the above protocols, Appendix A describes a generalized RDF query language called Algae that is used to implement the queries described in Section 4.

www-rdf-interest@w3.org from January 2003: RDF query for SQL da algae [1] and cwm [2] now both have the ability to query a relational
database with an application-specific schema

Manywhere - Moblogger from Russell Beatty : "...a Java based application for posting to a Blogger API website from your mobile phone via email. If an image, sound or video is attached to the email, it will FTP that file to your web server and add the HTML for viewing online." It runs as a background process that monitors a POP3 email account for new email (so presumably can be used for blogging from a regular email account).

Technical Impediments, Eric Armstrong : "When attempts are made to develop 'distributed persistent collaboration' tools, a variety of technical issues stand in the way. This article examines several of these impediments to progress."

Blue Oxen Associates: PurpleWiki : "...is a WikiWikiWeb implementation that adds purple numbers to paragraphs, headers, lists, and other fine-grained elements on a Wiki page."
