W3C Introduces an HTML5 Logo
18 January 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-8992
[] W3C unveiled today an HTML5 logo, a striking visual identity
for the open web platform. W3C encourages early adopters to use
HTML5 and to provide feedback to the W3C HTML Working Group as
part of the standardization process. Now there are logos for
those who have taken up parts of HTML5 into their sites, and
for anyone who wishes to tell the world they are using or
referring to HTML5, CSS, SVG, WOFF, and other technologies used
to build modern Web applications. The logo home page includes a
badge builder (which generates code for displaying the logo), a
gallery of sites using the logo, links for buying an HTML5
T-shirt, instructions for getting free stickers, and more. The
logo is available under "Creative Commons 3.0 By" so it can be
adapted by designers to meet their needs. See also the HTML5
logo FAQ and learn more about HTML5.

W3C Launches RDF Working Group
21 January 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9000
W3C today launches the RDF Working Group, whose mission is to
update the cornerstone standard for the Semantic Web: the
Resource Description Framework (RDF). The scope of work is to
extend RDF to include some of the features that the community
has identified as both desirable and important for
interoperability based on experience with the 2004 version of
the standard, but without having a negative effect on existing
deployment. Some of the anticipated features include JSON and
Turtle serializations, and a standard model and semantics for
multiple graphs and graphs stores. Learn more about the
Semantic Web.

Call for Review: Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0 Proposed
Recommendation
20 January 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-8998
The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group has published a
Proposed Recommendation of "Efficient XML Interchange (EXI)
Format 1.0." EXI is a very compact, high performance XML
representation that was designed to work well for a broad range
of applications. It simultaneously improves performance and
significantly reduces bandwidth requirements without
compromising efficient use of other resources such as battery
life, code size, processing power, and memory. Comments are
welcome through 17 February. Learn more about the Extensible
Markup Language (XML) Activity.

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

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.
