Hello again For those in Europe (but perhaps also of general interest that this is happening), the European Commission's Information Society and Media DG has published a call for tenders for a study on 'the Semantic Grid: technologies and standardisation'. I quote: "The study will provide a critical analysis of current European involvement in, and contributions to, standardisation initiatives relevant to the Semantic Grid, while identifying future needs of the Semantic Grid in terms of standardisation. Additionally, the study will identify the future needs of industry and business in terms of technologies and standardisation for semantic developments of the 'Next Generation Grid'. From the analyses undertaken, recommendations (including a 'road map') will be formulated and proposed to the European Semantic Grid constituency that will enable it to maximise its impact in international standardisation activities."
