W3C PLING Interest Group – Charter extended until June 2009

Good news. The W3C Policy Languages Interest Group (PLING - co-chairs: Renato Iannella, Marco Casassa Mont) charter has been extended until June 2009.

Please have a look at the PLING Twiki site for current outcomes of phone meetings, discussions and collection of material, about the following policy-related topics: use cases, policy languages review, related initiatives, interesting cases, open issues and scientific resources. Feel free to contribute and ensure that your positions and views are covered.

The PLING Twiki site also provides up-to-date information about coming PLING phone meetings. These meetings are open to anybody interested in the policy topic.

We are looking for speakers that are willing to provide a short presentation (30 min), during our phone conferences, illustrating their work in the space of policy/policy management, open/new issues, interesting use cases and their vision in this space.

More on PLING Interest Group and PLING Wiki Site

As announced sometimes ago, the PLING (Policy Languages Interest Group) Wiki site is now up and running: http://www.w3.org/Policy/pling/wiki/Main_Page.

This community is invited to contribute and populate its pages with thoughts, input and comments about three main topics:

1) Use Cases
2) Policy Frameworks
3) Related Initiatives

Please notice that the "Use Cases" section currently contains the policy use case highlighted by Michael Wilson along with a comment of mine. Feel free to add your use cases and/or comments.

The "Policy Language" section has been populated with an initial draft page, categorising some of the current policy languages and frameworks.

Finally, the "Related Initiatives" section has also been populated with an initial list of projects/activities of some relevance to PLING. This is a very draft list, open to contributions.

Feel free to register to the PLING Wiki site and add your contributions.
