[NLP2RDF] Pre-release notification: NLP Interchange Format 1.0

[Sebastian Hellmann]

Dear LOD2 members and subscribers of the NLP2RDF mailing list,
the specification for the NLP Interchange format is almost finished and 
I would like to make it public within the next days (Monday the 9th at 
the latest).

This is a pre-release notification. If you are a stakeholder of 
NLP2RDF/NIF please do the following:

1. have a look at the format specification: http://nlp2rdf.org/nif-1-0  
If you are a LOD2 member and have an EU deliverable concerning NIF, this 
is what you will have to implement at some point. I especially took care 
that there is no unnecessary schnick-schnack (this is German for bells 
and whistles or balderdash ). So you should be able to implement the NIF 
output in a day or so. Of course I will be available on Skype for any 
support and questions (sebastian.hellmann).
The next couple of days are ideal to have some final changes, so please 
have a look NOW. Anything else will be pushed to the next release of the 
NIF specification in half a year or so.

2. subscribe (I already added some people) to the mailing list: 
http://lists.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/mailman/listinfo/nlp2rdf

On Monday, I will release the specification 1.0 and also the community 
portal http://nlp2rdf.org

All the best,
Sebastian
