<p>A meeting of the <a href="/2001/sw/interest/">Semantic Web Interest
Group</a> (SW IG, formerly RDF IG) is scheduled for the 1st and 2nd March
2004, during the <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/2003/08/allgroupoverview.html">W3C Technical
Plenary week.</a>
</p>

<p>This Interest Group is a continuation of the <a
href="/RDF/Interest/">RDF Interest Group</a>.  See the <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/2003/12/swa/swig-charter.html">Interest Group</a>
charter for more details on the group, including our <a href=

fora</a>.
</p>


<p>The <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/2003/08/allgroupoverview.html">Technical Plenary
Week</a> continues after the SW IG meeting (mon/tues 1st and 2nd of
March), with a wednesday plenary session, followed by further meetings
of W3C groups on thur/fri 4th and 5th March.  Note that there is a <a
href= "http://www.w3.org/2004/03/04-SWBPD">Semantic Web Best Practices
WG meeting</a> planned for thursday and friday of TP week. Both
meetings are likely to address the relationship between BPD WG and SW
IG. In brief, the two groups have related goals, but differing
membership models and work styles. The SW IG is designed to complement
the work of W3C's Semantic Web Working Groups through providing a
broader public forum for collaboration and discussion. The BPD WG
meeting is intended primarily for WG members, although observers may
be allowed (see <a href= "http://www.w3.org/2004/03/04-SWBPD">meeting
page</a> for details).</p>


<h2><a name="who" id="who">Participants</a></h2>

<p>We had <a href="http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35125/tp2004/registrants#rdfig">19 IG

registered as observers. Observers are encouraged to participate in
the meeting.
