• The Next Generation of the Web - slides from Harry Halpin (HTML), featuring how to get a date with Dan Connolly...

• Dojo does RDF - via Andrew Newman, who has more on SPARQLing Ajax (I wonder if that could be hooked up to Tabulator's RDF-in-Javascript..?)

• Another facet of the elephant that could use addressing: ERH (coming from an XML standpoint) reckons 2007 is make-or-break year for the Semantic Web; there's an intelligent thread on the rest-discuss list about The XML Semantic Web.
