W3C Webinar: Discovery in Distributed Multimodal Interaction

   17 September 2013 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3197

   The W3C Multimodal Interaction Working Group (MMI-WG) is
   pleased to announce the second webinar on “Discovery in
   Distributed Multimodal Interaction”, to be held on September
   24, 2013, at 11:00 a.m. ET.

   http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/

   Prior to this second webinar, the MMI-WG held the W3C Workshop
   on Rich Multimodal Application Development on July 22-23 in New
   York Metropolitan Area, US, and identified that
   distributed/dynamic applications depend on the ability of
   devices and environments to find each other and learn what
   modalities they support. Therefore this second webinar will
   focus on the topic of device/service discovery to handle
   Modality Components of the MMI Architecture dynamically.

   http://www.w3.org/2013/07/mmi/summary

   The discussion during the webinar will interest anyone who
   wants to take advantage of the dramatic increase in new
   interaction modes, whether for health care, financial services,
   broadcasting, automotive, gaming, or consumer devices.

   Several experts from the industry and analyst communities will
   share their experiences and views on the explosive growth of
   opportunities for the development of applications that provide
   enhanced multimodal user-experiences. Read more and register
   for the webinar. Learn more about Multimodal Interaction at
   W3C.

Last Call: TriG

   20 September 2013 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3216

   The RDF Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft
   of "TriG." The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a
   general-purpose language for representing information in the
   Web. This document defines a textual syntax for RDF called TriG
   that allows an RDF dataset to be completely written in a
   compact and natural text form, with abbreviations for common
   usage patterns and datatypes. TriG is an extension of the
   Turtle [turtle] format. Comments are welcome through 11
   October. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.

DOMMatrix interface Draft Published

   20 September 2013 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3214

   The CSS Working Group and the SVG Working Group have published
   a First Public Working Draft of "DOMMatrix interface." This
   specification describes a transformation matrix interface with
   the dimension of 3×2 and 4×4. The transformation matrix
   interface replaces the SVGMatrix interface from SVG. It is a
   common interface used to describe 2D and 3D transformations on
   a graphical context for SVG, Canvas 2D Context and CSS
   Transforms. Learn more about the Style Activity and the

CSS Ruby Module Level 1, and CSS Syntax Module Level 3 Drafts
Published

   20 September 2013 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3212

   The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published
   two Working Drafts today:

   http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members
     * CSS Ruby Module Level 1. “Ruby” are short runs of text
       alongside the base text, typically used in East Asian
       documents to indicate pronunciation or to provide a short
       annotation. This module describes the rendering model and
       formatting controls related to displaying ruby annotations
       in CSS. CSS is a language for describing the rendering of
       structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on
       paper, in speech, etc.
     * CSS Syntax Module Level 3. This module describes, in
       general terms, the basic structure and syntax of CSS
       stylesheets. It defines, in detail, the syntax and parsing
       of CSS – how to turn a stream of bytes into a meaningful
       stylesheet.
