The IPTC Semantic Web Working Group, discussed the application of semantic web technologies in news, focusing on models and formats to enhance news representation using methods like RDFa, microformats, and microdata. A key goal is to promote better tools for news by adding metadata, culminating in a motion to approve RNews version 1.0. Future discussions aim to explore linking IPTC newscodes with other data sources, enhancing their utility in the linked data ecosystem.

- 11. Linked Data for NewsIPTC NewsCodes available as Linked DataConnect related data across the web using URIs, HTTP & RDFFollowed the Linked Data principles, as specified by TBLUse URIs as names for things Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards (RDF, SPARQL) Include links to other URIs, so that they can discover more thingshttp://www.iptc.org/site/NewsCodes/NewsCodes_Retrieval_in_Different_Formats© 2010 IPTC (www.iptc.org) All rights reserved9
- 12. More LinkingThe current IPTC Linked Data only links between IPTC NewsCodesWe’ve experimented with mapping to DBpediaWe’ve discussed mapping with FreebaseWe propose to explore linking to non-IPTC resourcesMake the IPTC NewsCodes linked data more usefulPotential for IPTC to become a “hub” in the Linked Data networkIdentify candidate resources, experiment with mappingsReport findings at the London meeting© 2010 IPTC (www.iptc.org) All rights reserved10
