'The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) is an open consortium of universities, libraries, corporations and government research laboratories. LDC was formed in 1992 to address the critical data shortage then facing language technology research and development.'

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards.

SPARQL (pronounced "sparkle", a recursive acronym for SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) is an RDF query language, that is, a query language for databases, able to retrieve and manipulate data stored in Resource Description Framework format.[1][2] It was made a standard by the RDF Data Access Working Group (DAWG) of the World Wide Web Consortium, and is considered as one of the key technologies of the semantic web.

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC®) is a non-profit, international, voluntary consensus standards organization that is leading the development of standards for geospatial and location based services.

rNews is an approved standard for using semantic markup to annotate news-specific metadata in HTML documents. rNews has been developed by the IPTC, a consortium of the world's major news agencies, news publishers and news industry vendors. After a couple of months of development rNews is at production level now, version 1.0 was approved in October 2011. The IPTC welcomes feedback on how to improve the standard in the rNews Forum.

OASIS is a not-for-profit consortium that brings people together to agree on intelligent ways to exchange information over the Internet and within their organizations.

"Using open standards from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Linked Data is a way of publishing data that exploits the strengths of the web to interconnect data, put it in context, and allow comparisons."

The Gene Ontology project is a major bioinformatics initiative with the aim of standardizing the representation of gene and gene product attributes across species and databases. The project provides a controlled vocabulary of terms for describing gene product characteristics and gene product annotation data from GO Consortium members, as well as tools to access and process this data.

The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a family of knowledge representation languages for authoring ontologies. The languages are characterised by formal semantics and RDF/XML-based serializations for the Semantic Web. OWL is endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium[1] and has attracted academic, medical and commercial interest.

OBO-Edit is optimized for the OBO biological ontology file format. It features an easy to use editing interface, a simple but fast reasoner, and powerful search capabilities. OBO-Edit is developed by the Berkeley Bioinformatics and Ontologies Project, and is funded by the Gene Ontology Consortium. Contributions to the OBO-Edit codebase are always welcome.

DataCite is an international consortium to establish easier access to scientific research data on the Internet increase acceptance of research data as legitimate, citable contributions to the scientific record, and to support data archiving that will permit results to be verified and re-purposed for future study.DataCite promotes data sharing, increased access, and better protection of research investment. Just as science is global, with individual researchers working and publishing, DataCite with 12 members from 9 countries is global, with individual regional member institutions offering services and advice directly where they are needed by the scientists.

a complementary effort by people from the Linked Data community to express the terms provided by the Schema.org consortium in RDF. We currently provide static RDFS documents of the Schema.org terms in the formats listed below - and yes, we're heavily working on more ;)

Based at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the Decentralized Information Group is led by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. DIG's members include leaders in technology and public policy, including the White House CTO for Internet Policy Danny Weitzner.   DIG's work is closely coordinated with the activities of the World Wide Web Consortium, the international standards-setting organization for the Web.

"he Semantic Web is an extension of the World Wide Web through standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).[1] The goal of the Semantic Web is to make Internet data machine-readable. To enable the encoding of semantics with the data, technologies such as Resource Description Framework (RDF)[2] and Web Ontology Language (OWL)[3] are used. These technol"
