`
`W3C Workshop on Push Technology
`September 8-9, 1997
`Boston - USA
`
`This workshop report is in progress; meanwhile, initial feedback from the 72 attendees indicate that the workshop was a great success. There was
`significant enthusiasm for W3C activity in this area in general and a few aspects in particular:
`
`• Rich descriptions of web content for the purpose of "push" distribution
`• HTTP protocol enhancements to facilitate "push" distribution
`• Multicast protocols for "push" distribution
`
`Recent W3C Submissions such as CDF and DRP were presented. Discussion included the relationship of these proposals to ongoing work in W3C
`and elsewhere. In particular, the workshop participants began to evaluate the use of technology in development in W3C's Metadata Activity, i.e.
`RDF, for description of collections of web content.
`
`Note that W3C Workshops do not have direct impact on the status of Submissions. The mechanism for the outcome of a W3C Workshop to turn
`into a W3C Activity is for a Briefing Package to be drafted, circulated to the W3C Advisory Committee, and approved.
`
`The discussion of deployment of W3C resources and the disposition of the proposals presented at the workshop continues on the www-push
`mailing list.
