The document discusses the IPTC Semantic Web Working Group's efforts to leverage semantic web technologies for representing news content. Their work focuses on developing models for the aspects of news to represent and formats for encoding the news using semantic web standards like RDFa, microformats and Linked Data. The group also provides updates on their rNews specification for adding metadata to HTML news articles and their work to publish IPTC NewsCodes and link them to other datasets according to Linked Data principles. They announce plans to further expand these linking efforts and to participate in the W3C semnews Community Group. The next meeting is scheduled for June 2012 in New York.
