The W3C Semantic Web Deployment Working Group has published a new draft of Best Practice Recipes for Publishing RDF Vocabularies. "This document describes best practice recipes for publishing vocabularies or ontologies on the Web (in RDF Schema or OWL). The features of each recipe are described in details, so that vocabulary designers may choose the recipe best suited to their needs. Each recipe introduces general principles and an example configuration for use with an Apache HTTP server (which may be adapted to other environments). The recipes are all designed to be consistent with the architecture of the Web as currently specified." This contains six recipes:

• Recipe 1. Minimal configuration for a 'hash namespace'
• Recipe 2. Minimal configuration for a 'slash namespace'
• Recipe 3. Extended configuration for a 'hash namespace'
• Recipe 4. Extended configuration for a 'slash namespace', using a single HTML document
• Recipe 5. Extended configuration for a 'slash namespace', using multiple HTML documents
• Recipe 6. Extended configuration for a 'slash namespace', using multiple HTML documents and a query service
