The Internet Relay Chat (IRC) #rdfig channel is now available, offering real time collaboration to Semantic Web Developers at irc://irc.openprojects.net:6667/rdfig. The IRC channel extends the RDF Interest Group (RDF IG) mailing lists.

Dave Beckett of Institute for Learning and Research Technology (ILRT) has implemented the availability of searchable public RDF Interest Group IRC Chat Logs in HTML, RDF and plain text formats. Edd Dumbill, Managing Editor of XML.com and XMLhack founder, contributed the RDF Interest Group IRC Scratchpad, a recommendation and annotation system with RDF Site Summary (RSS) feed search capabilities.
