W3C Launches Quality Assurance Activity

16 August 2001: W3C is pleased to announce the creation of the Quality Assurance (QA) Activity. Launched with a Working Group and Interest Group, the primary mission of the QA Activity is to improve the quality of W3C specification implementation in the field. QA will work on the quality of W3C specifications, promote the development of good validators, test tools, and harnesses for implementers, and think ahead to additional steps. Learn more in the QA Activity statement and in the announcement.

W3C Launches New RDF Validation Service

Enter a URI or RDF/XML document, and the RDF Validator will display a 3-tuple (triple) representation and a graphical visualization of the data model. Feedback on the new service is welcome at www-rdf-validator@w3.org.
