Thanks to IWA/HWG, I'm a member of following W3C Activities:
from Semantic Web Deployment:
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.
from Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages:
The mission of this Working Group is to complement the concrete RDF/XML syntax with a mechanism to relate other XML syntaxes (especially XHTML dialects or "microformats") to the RDF abstract syntax via transformations identified by URIs.
from Resource Description Framework Annotation:
RDFa is a syntax for expressing this structured data in XHTML. The rendered, hypertext data of XHTML is reused by the RDFa markup, so that publishers don't repeat themselves. The underlying abstract representation is RDF, which lets publishers build their own vocabulary, extend others, and evolve their vocabulary with maximal interoperability over time.

CAcert serves as issuer of certificates for individuals, businesses, governments, charities, associations, churches, schools, non-governmental organizations or other groups. CAcert certificates are intended for low-cost community applications especially where volunteers can become Assurers and help CAcert to help the community.
CAcert Inc. is a non profit organization located in Australia and provides free email-, server- and code-signing certificates. The idea behind CAcert is, that we shouldn't be charged high amounts of money for security based on certificates which shouldn't cost the earth. We will never be able to reach the goal of secure environments and secure communication as long as only a fraction of all Internet users and companies can afford a digital certificate.
The major goal of CAcert is to provide a life long user account with the ability to use as many certificates as you like without paying anything for it.

TopSiteAdvisor was founded in April 2005 by a group of MIT engineers who wanted to make the Web safer for their family and friends. Having spent one too many holiday breaks trying to clean a mess of spam, adware, and spyware from our families' computers, we decided to take action.
We realized there was a gaping hole in existing Web security products. While traditional security companies had gotten relatively good at addressing technical threats like viruses, they were failing to prevent a new breed of "social engineering" tricks like spyware infections, identity theft scams, and sites which send excessive e-mail.

Also this year at SMAU, the biggest event in Italy for ICT, I'm presenting a seminar on Semantic Web for all, not only techical people. You can also register on-line for seminar.
"Business has only two functions - marketing and innovation."
Listening Kundera's quotation we can take the link from whis two topics which - otherwise - there are not clearly linked: Web Marketing, techniques and tools to develop the market and business on the web, and Semantic Web, the Framework for linked datas for sharing it from application to communities and from communities to enterprise.
We'll ask how Marketing and Innovation can be fused in order to get huge advantages with less stress. We can add more power to Contents - also if already exist - powering the data reuse, and get the best from our Strategies.
Technics plus Marketing: The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Web and Business as a unique system - per scomodare Aristotele and Gestalt psychologists - like a melody with clearly distinct sounds in powerful chord.
After a brief introduction we'll see innovative Semantic Web technologies and how we can use it for maketing, in order to build our future.

"The Web was designed as an information space, with the goal that it should be useful not only for human-human communication, but also that machines would be able to participate and help."
Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the Web, explain us that WWW in not only for human-human communication and that, for a lot of functions, machines would be able to help and work for us. This is possible with Semantic Web: a network of (meta)data undestrandable by machines and computable in an automated way using Logic. Not only for saving our time, also opening infinite possibilies of deployment and innovation. In this "Blue Ocean" - quoting Kim W. Chan and Mauborgne Renée. During seminar after a brief introduction to Semantic Web World, we'll see applications, possibilities and how is simple and affrodable entering in the Web of the Future - superpassing the "Web 2.0" - showing secrects of Resource Description Framework (RDF), Gleaning Resource Description from Dialects of Languages (GRDDL), Friend Of A Friend (FOAF), Description Of A Project (DOAP), Semantically Interlinked Online Communities (SIOC), Dublin Core (DC), Microformats and more.

2007-09-28: A lot of news today, so a sum of works of last months. First, I'll be at SMAU e-Academy presenting the free Seminar: Web of the Future: Visions and Ideas on Semantic Web in italian (so there is also the abstract in english). Second, finally online slides of my past presentations likes Standards WakeUp!, Semantic Web in 3 clicks and W3C's Accessibility - Introduction to WCAG 1.0 and Quick Tips. Last but not least, I've updated the Timeline Generator using Exhibit 2.0 and a new technique to get external pages.
2007-07-19: New arrives on services. Now it's on-line an RDFa Parser and eRDF Parser. Little trick: I choose two flowered-logos for RDFa and eRDF both. Why? This two methods is a good way to embed a Semantic Layer directly in (X)HTML pages. Well, imagine pages as flower and flower-powder (the three circles) as Triples.
2007-07-18: First: GRDDL is finally a Proposed Recommendation!!! You don't know about it? Try the GRDDL Referece Card by Danny Ayers.
So, after the Timeline from hCalendar Microformat and vCaelndar RDF (I'll update it soon for a most stable transformation), a new service useful for Semantic Web is online: an XML XSL Processor-Parser implemented with Sablotron libs availables on my server. It can be used for free and without limitations and no warranties.
Then, You may see new "Cogs" logos on Web Proxy Anonymizer and Timeline itself. The idea is that this simple services can be combined. In few weeks new services will be online.
2007-06-01: A little idea for Semantic Web, with two XSLT is possible to get Timeline from hCalendar or vCaelndar. Implementation is simple: via XSLT transform vCal to XML-Timeline compliant. hCal is gleaned using Brian Suda's XSLT. My XSLT PHP parser is most limited and may be problems if XHTML code is not well-formed and more... Working examples from hCal is Dan Connolly (see Dan's Timeline) and Timeline from my home. Suggestions, Bugs and all is accepted. Stay tuned for updates!
