Last Call: Navigation Timing
11 January 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-8987
The Web Performance Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "Navigation Timing." User latency is an
important quality benchmark for Web Applications. While
JavaScript-based mechanisms can provide comprehensive
instrumentation for user latency measurements within an
application, in many cases, they are unable to provide a
complete end-to-end latency picture. To address the need for
complete information on user experience, this document
introduces the PerformanceTiming interfaces. This interface
allows JavaScript mechanisms to provide complete client-side
latency measurements within applications. Comments are welcome
through 08 February. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

14 January 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-8990
The HTML Working Group published eight documents:
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/
* Working Drafts of the HTML5 specification, the accompanying
explanatory document HTML5 differences from HTML4, and the
related non-normative reference HTML: The Markup Language.
* Working Drafts of the specifications HTML+RDFa 1.1 and HTML
Microdata, which define mechanisms for embedding
machine-readable data in HTML documents, and the
specification HTML Canvas 2D Context, which defines a 2D
immediate-mode graphics API for use with the HTML5 <canvas>
element.
* HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives,
which is intended to help authors provide useful text
alternatives for images in HTML documents.
* Polyglot Markup: HTML-Compatible XHTML Documents, which is
intended to help authors produce XHTML documents that are
also compatible with non-XML HTML syntax and parsing rules.

W3C Launches WebID Incubator Group
14 January 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-8989
W3C is pleased to announce the creation of the WebID Incubator
Group, whose mission is to further advance for full
standardization the WebID protocol, an authentication protocol
that uses the SSL/TLS layer for user identification by tying
the client to a profile document on the Web through placing a
URI in a certificate. It is a first step to a fully
standard-based browser authentication experience, but not
limited to browser based authentication: peer to peer server
authentication will work just as well. The Incubator Group
intends to pursue work that has been evolving since 2008, grow
the number of interested parties from the Social Web, security
and browser communities, and integrate their feedback. The
following W3C Members have sponsored the charter for this
group: The Apache Software Foundation, DERI Galway, Garlik,
INRIA, Nokia, OpenLink Software, Talis, Telecom Italia SpA,
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. 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 but in many cases serves as a starting
point for a future Working Group.

W3C Announces Workshop to Bring Content to the Multilingual Web
13 January 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-8988
[] W3C announces the Content on the Multilingual Web Workshop,
to take place 4-5 April 2011 in Pisa, Italy. Workshop
participants will discuss currently available best practices
and standards that help content creators, localizers, language
technology developers, browser makers, and others meet the
challenges of the multilingual Web. The Workshop also provides
opportunities for networking that bring together the various
communities involved in enabling the multilingual Web. This is
the second of four Workshops being planned by W3C over the next
two years as part of the MultilingualWeb European Project and
is hosted by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche.
Participation is free and open to anyone. However, space is
limited and participants are advised to register as soon as
possible. People wishing to speak should submit an outline of
their proposed talk with their registration form. The deadline
for speaker proposals is 1 March. For more information, see the
call for participation. Learn more about W3C's
Internationalization Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of Ink Markup Language (InkML)
11 January 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-8986
The W3C Multimodal Interaction Working Group invites
implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of "Ink Markup
Language (InkML)." This document describes the syntax and
semantics for the Ink Markup Language, a 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.
See the group's implementation report plan. Learn more about
the Multimodal Interaction Activity.

W3C Web and TV Workshop
http://www.w3.org/2010/11/web-and-tv/
Berlin, Germany
Hosted by Fraunhofer-Fokus
The IT industry is building the future Web platform at W3C.
HTML5, CSS, SVG, and other open global standards for Web
technology are starting to be deployed in browsers, and the
Web community is enthusiastic about host of new features
such as location-based services. W3C is organizing this
workshop to bring the television industry and other
producers of consumer electronics into the discussion.
Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to
share their own perspectives, requirements, and ideas to
ensure that emerging global standards meet their needs.
* 2011-04-04 ( 4 APR) – 2011-04-05 ( 5 APR)
Content on the Multilingual Web
http://www.multilingualweb.eu/documents/pisa-workshop/pisa-
cfp
Pisa, Italy
Hosted jointly by the Istituto di Informatica e Telematica
and Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale, Consiglio
Nazionale delle Ricerche.
Today, the World Wide Web is fundamental to communication
in all walks of life. As the share of English web pages
decreases and that of other languages increases, it is
vitally important to ensure the multilingual success of the
World Wide Web. The MultilingualWeb project is looking at
best practices and standards related to all aspects of
creating, localizing and deploying the Web multilingually.
The project aims to raise the visibility of existing best
practices and standards and identify gaps. The core vehicle
for this is a series of four events which are planned for
the coming two years. Following the highly successful first
event in Madrid, this second workshop will be held in Pisa,
Italy.
