<h1>Semantic Web Deployment Working Group</h1>
</div>

<p class="baseline">The mission of this Working Group is to provide guidance
in the form of W3C Technical Reports on issues of practical RDF development
and deployment practices in the areas of publishing vocabularies, OWL usage,
and integrating RDF with HTML documents.
<br/>
<strong>This Working Group is now closed and this page is maintained for historical
purposes only.</strong><br/>
In future, the SKOS community plans to use the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/SKOS">SKOS Wiki Pages</a> on the Semantic Web Standards Wiki,
as a forum for further discussions,
improvements, etc.<br/> As for RDFa, W3C has formed a separate <a href="http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/">Working
Group</a> whose <a href="http://www.w3.org/2010/01/rdfa-wg-charter">charter</a> includes further work on RDFa, in particular a
definition of a DOM API, and its adaptation to HTML5 as well as general XML languages.
