W3C Launches Open Web Education Alliance Incubator Group
W3C is pleased to announce the creation of the Open Web Education
Alliance Incubator Group, whose mission is to help enhance and
standardize the architecture of the World Wide Web by facilitating
the highest quality standards and best practice based education for
future generations of Web professionals. The goal of this Incubator
Group is to bring together interested individuals, companies, and
organizations with a strong interest in the field of educating Web
professionals, to explore the needs and issues around the topic of
Web development education. The group will be chaired by John
Allsopp. The following W3C Members have sponsored the charter for
this group: Adobe Systems Inc.; Mitsue-Links Co., Ltd; and Opera
Software. Read more about the Incubator Activity, an initiative to
foster development of emerging Web-related technologies. Incubator
Activity work is not on the W3C standards track.

First Drafts of Widgets 1.0: Access Requests Policy; URI Scheme
The Web Applications Working Group has published two First Public
Working Drafts: "Widgets 1.0: Access Requests Policy" and "Widgets
1.0: URI Scheme." The former defines the security model controlling
network access from within a widget, as well as a method for widget
authors to request that the user agent grant access to certain
network resources. The latter defines a "widget:" URI scheme to help
identify resources within a widget package. Learn more about the
Rich Web Client Activity.

First Draft Published for Ontology for Media Resource 1.0
The Media Annotations Working Group has published the First Public
Working Draft of "Ontology for Media Resource 1.0." This
specification defines an ontology for cross-community data
integration of information related to media resources, with a
particular focus on media resources on the Web. The ontology is
supposed to foster interoperability and counter the current
proliferation of video metadata formats by providing full or partial
translation and mapping towards existing formats. Learn more about
the Video in the Web Activity.

CSS Fonts Module Level 3 Draft Published
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published the
Working Draft of "CSS Fonts Module Level 3." This CSS3 module
describes how font properties are specified and how font resources
are loaded dynamically. This draft consolidates material previously
divided between the CSS3 Fonts and CSS3 Web Fonts modules. Learn
more about the Style Activity.

Last Call: Delivery Context Ontology
The Ubiquitous Web Applications Working Group has published a Last
Call Working Draft of "Delivery Context Ontology." A "Delivery
Context" is a source of information that can help create
context-aware applications, thus providing a compelling user
experience. The Delivery Context Ontology specification provides a
formal model of the characteristics of the environment in which
devices interact with the Web or other services. The Delivery
Context includes the characteristics of the Device, the software
used to access the service and the Network providing the connection
among others. Comments are welcome through 07 July. Learn more about
the Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.

Updated Drafts of SVG Parameters 1.0
The SVG Working Group has published two Working Drafts: "SVG
Parameters 1.0, Part 1: Primer" and "SVG Parameters 1.0, Part 2:
Language." The SVG Parameters specification is an SVG 2.0 Module to
provide a declarative way to incorporate parameter values into SVG
content. Often, users may wish to create a single resource, and
reuse it several times with specified variations, and this
specification provides a means to do so without the use of scripts.
The Primer suggests how to use the SVG Parameters specification with
SVG 1.2. Learn more about the Graphics Activity.
