   05 July 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9492

   The RDF Web Applications Working Group has published three
   Group Notes that, while advanced, were not completed before the
   end of the group's charter. For more information, see the
   explanation in each individual document.

   http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/
     * RDFa API provides and API for simple extraction and usage
       of structured information from a Web document.
     * RDF API defines a set of standardized interfaces for
       working with RDF data in a web-based programming
       environment.
     * RDF Interfaces defines a set of standardized interfaces for
       working with RDF data in a programming environment.

Note Published: Registration and Discovery of Multimodal Modality
Components in Multimodal Systems: Use Cases and Requirements

   05 July 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9491

   The Multimodal Interaction Working Group has published a Group
   Note of "Registration and Discovery of Multimodal Modality
   Components in Multimodal Systems: Use Cases and Requirements."
   Users of mobile phones, personal computers, tablets or other
   electronic Devices are increasingly interacting with their
   devices in a variety of ways: touch screen, voice, stylus,
   keypads, etc. Today, users, vendors, operators and broadcasters
   can produce and use all kinds of different Media and Devices
   that are capable of supporting multiple modes of input or
   output. Tools for authoring, edition or distribution of Media
   for Application developers are well-documented. But there is a
   lack of powerful tools or practices for a richer integration
   and semantic synchronization of all these media. To the best of
   our knowledge, there is no standardized way to build a web
   Application that can dynamically combine and control discovered
   modalities by querying a registry based on user-experience data
   and modality states. This document describes design
   requirements that the Multimodal Architecture and Interfaces
   specification needs to cover in order to address this problem.

Web Application Privacy Best Practices Note Published

   03 July 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9490

   The Device APIs Working Group has published a Group Note of
   "Web Application Privacy Best Practices." This document
   describes privacy best practices for web applications,
   including those that might use device APIs. This continues the
   work on privacy best practices in section 3.3.1 on "User
   Awareness and Control" Mobile Web Application Best Practices
   without repeat the privacy principles and requirements
   documented in the Device API Privacy Requirements Note that it
   complements. Learn more about the Ubiquitous Web Applications
   Activity.

Quota Management API Draft Published

   03 July 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9488

   The Web Applications Working Group has published the First
   Public Working Draft of "Quota Management API." This
   specification defines an API to manage usage and availability
   of local storage resources, and defines a means by which a user
   agent (UA) may grant Web applications permission to use more
   local space, temporarily or persistently, via various different
   storage APIs. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.
