W3C Workshop: The Multilingual Web – Linked Open Data and
MultilingualWeb-LT Requirements

   10 April 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9418

   W3C announces today a Workshop on Linked Open Data and
   MultilingualWeb-LT Requirements, 11-13 June in Dublin, Ireland.
   Organized by the MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group, the purpose
   of this workshop is two-fold: first, to discuss the
   intersection between Linked Open Data and Multilingual
   Technologies, and second, to discuss Requirements of the W3C
   MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group. Participation is free. We
   welcome participation from both speakers and non-speaking
   attendees. However, whereas future MultilingualWeb workshops
   will continue the wide-ranging format of previous
   MultilingualWeb events, and will aim again at a larger
   audience, attendees for this workshop are required to
   participate actively in discussions and will need to submit a
   position statement for the workshop registration. There are
   limited spaces available. Learn more about Internationalization
   at W3C.

   people with disabilities can use them. Comment deadline is 5
   June 2012. Learn more in ATAG 2.0 Last Call Working Draft

CSS Variables Module Level 1 Draft Published

   10 April 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9415

   The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published
   the First Public Working Draft of "CSS Variables Module Level
   1." CSS is a language for describing the rendering of
   structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on
   paper, in speech, etc. This module contains the features of CSS
   level 3 relating to variables. It includes and extends the
   functionality of CSS level 2, which builds on CSS level 1. The
   main extensions compared to level 2 are the introduction of the
   variable as a new primitive value type that is accepted by all
   properties. Learn more about the Style Activity.

       For many years, W3C has been a keen promoter of Open Data,
       fostering a culture in which public administrations make
       their data available, ideally in machine-processable
       formats. Many governments have embraced the idea with
       enthusiasm, setting up national data portals. As part of
       the FP7-funded Crossover Project, W3C and the European
       Commission are running a Workshop in June, just ahead of
       the Digital Agenda Summit, to ask a simple question: what
       is all the 'new' government open data being used for?
