ICRA unveils new system
In a statement today, the Internet Content Rating Association (ICRA) has unveiled a new labelling system, based on the RDF (Resource Description Framework) standard, making the process of labelling across large complex websites far simpler in order to encourage many more major online brands to label their sites and thereby make the Internet considerably safer for children. The move from PICS (Platform for Internet Content Selection) to the newer W3C RDF standard represents a fundamental shift in the technological architecture of the ICRA system. RDF is increasingly used in the latest web applications - such as RSS, blogs, wikis and shared bookmarks for example - and underpins the Semantic Web, which has been collectively defined by industry leaders, as �an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.�
