The W3C Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL) working groups have declared victory and gone home. The W3C has officially closed both working groups for having completed all their deliverables. The question now shifts to whether or not these technologies will actually achieve broad adoption.


JAPISoft has released EditiX 1.4.2, a $59 payware XML editor written in Java. Features include XPath location and syntax error detection, context sensitive popups based on DTD, W3C XML Schema Language, and RelaxNG schemas, and XSLT and XSL-FO previews. Version 1.4 adds a new XSLT editor and makes various bug fixes and speed-ups. EditiX is available for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows.
