DCMI组织形式发生变化
DCMI开展活动的基层组织“工作组（Working Groups）”将于明天开始被“社区（Communities）”和“任务小组（Tasking Groups）”取代，除了Andy Powell领导的“架构工作组（Architecture Working Group）”升格为架构论坛（Architecture Forum）之外，其它大多工作组都转为社区，并暂时拥有一个任务小组，而AGENTS、DATE和KERNEL三个工作组将直接转为任务小组。任务小组独立于社区，具有明确的工作目标和时限，目前看来完成领域应用的Application Profile和编写相关文档（deliverables）是任务小组（TG）的主要工作，而社区的职能是参与讨论，对任务小组的文档品头论足。不一定所有的社区都拥有任务小组，某些任务小组（例如日期DATE小组）需要向多个社区征询意见。
社区依旧以邮件列表（讨论组）作为交流载体，任务小组的主要工作载体则为Wiki，当然这并不是绝对的。所有的社区和工作组都要在现有工作组任务说明的基础上编写新的Charter，阐明其存在的意义、任务、目的等。DCMI的这项转型工作将于2007年3月结束。
进行变化的主要目的是加强基层组织的活动，使DCMI更加活跃和富于成果。DCMI将继续以前的开放性，同时其成果更符合Web技术（特别是语义Web技术）的发展，融入到语义技术的大潮中去。
由“理事会（Board of Trustees）”、“咨询委员会（Advisory Board）”和“应用委员会（Usage Board）”组成的DCMI的“领导”架构将继续保持不变（当然领导“核心”一直是由Makx Dekkers和Tom Baker组成的Directorate）。其近年来积极推行的“附属会员机构（Affiliates）”将依旧通过原来的机制（即参与理事会和咨询委员会的形式）参与活动，各社区和任务小组的负责人也通过参与咨询委员会的活动而影响决策。
