Last Call: Ink Markup Language (InkML)

   27 May 2010 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8804

   The Multimodal Interaction Working Group has published a Last
   Call Working Draft of "Ink Markup Language (InkML)." The Ink
   Markup Language serves as the data format for representing ink
   entered with an electronic pen or stylus. The markup allows for
   the input and processing of handwriting, gestures, sketches,
   music and other notational languages in applications. It
   provides a common format for the exchange of ink data between
   components such as handwriting and gesture recognizers,
   signature verifiers, and other ink-aware modules. Comments are
   welcome through 17 June. Learn more about the Multimodal
   Interaction Activity.

Workshops

     * 2010-06-15 (15 JUN) – 2010-06-16 (16 JUN)
       Augmented Reality on the Web
       http://www.w3.org/2010/04/W3C-augmented-reality-workshop-om
       web.htm
       Barcelona, Spain
       Augmented reality (AR) is a long standing topic in its own
       right but it has not been developed on the Web platform. As
       mobile devices become more powerful and feature-rich, the
       workshop will explore the possible convergence of AR and
       the Web. The objective of this Workshop is to provide a
       single forum for researchers and technologists to discuss
       the state of the art for AR on the Web, particularly the
       mobile platform, and what role standardization should play
       for Open Augmented Reality.
     * 2010-06-18 (18 JUN) – 2010-06-19 (19 JUN)
       W3C Workshop on Conversational Applications
       http://www.w3.org/2010/02/convapps/cfp
       Somerset, NJ, USA
       Openstream
       The goal of the workshop is to understand the limitations
       of the current W3C language model in order to develop a
       more comprehensive model. We plan to collect and analyze
       use cases and prioritize requirements that ultimately will
       be used to identify improvements to the W3C language model.
       Just as W3C developed SSML 1.1 to broaden the languages for
       which SSML is useful, this effort will result in improved
       support for language capabilities that are unsupported
       today.
     * 2010-06-26 (26 JUN) – 2010-06-27 (27 JUN)
       RDF Next Steps
       http://www.w3.org/2009/12/rdf-ws/
       Palo Alto, CA
       Hosted by the National Center for Biomedical Ontology
       (NCBO), at Stanford University
       The goal of the workshop is to gather feedback from the Web
       community on whether and, if yes, in which direction "RDF"
       should evolve. One of the main issues the Workshop should
       help deciding is whether it is timely for W3C to start a
       new RDF Working Group to define and standardize a next
       version of RDF.

     * 2010-07-12 (12 JUL) – 2010-07-13 (13 JUL)
       W3C Workshop on Privacy for Advanced Web APIs
       http://www.w3.org/2010/api-privacy-ws/
       London, England
       Hosted by Vodafone
       As the Web advances toward becoming an application
       development platform that addresses needs previously met by
       native applications, work proceeds on APIs to access
       information that was previously not available to Web
       developers. The broad availability of possibly sensitive
       data collected through location sensors and other
       facilities in a Web browser is just one example of the
       broad new privacy challenges that the Web faces today.
       Earlier approaches to address privacy issues for the Web,
       especially through policy languages, have not seen broad
       implementation in current-generation Web browsers.
       This workshop serves to investigate strategies toward
       better privacy protection on the Web that are effective and
       lead to benefits in the near term.
