First Public Working Drafts: Micropub and ActivityPub
28 January 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5286>
The Social Web Working Group has published two First Public
Working Drafts:
<https://www.w3.org/Social/WG>
"Micropub" : Micropub is an open API standard that is used to
create posts on one’s own domain using third-party clients. Web
apps and native apps (e.g. iPhone, Android) can use Micropub to
post short notes, photos, events or other posts to your own site.
<https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-micropub-20160128/>
"ActivityPub" : The ActivityPub protocol is a social networking
protocol based upon the ActivityStreams 2.0 data format. It is
based upon experience gained from implementing and working with
the OStatus and Pump.io protocols.

First Public Working Draft: Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) for JSON
28 January 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5289>
The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) for JSON." The
Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) format is a compact representation
that simultaneously optimizes performance and the utilization of
computational resources. The EXI format was designed to support
XML representation. With a relatively small set of transformations
it may also be used for JSON, a popular format for exchange of
structured data on the Web.

Data on the Web Best Practices: Dataset Usage Vocabulary Draft Published
28 January 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5284>
The Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group has published the
near final version of its "Dataset Usage Vocabulary." It is
designed to answer the natural desire of publishers to be able to
see how the data that they have gone to the effort of sharing is
being used. Dataset users can encourage continued publication by
providing that information.
<https://www.w3.org/2013/dwbp/>
<https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-vocab-duv-20160128>
By specifying a number of foundational concepts used to collect
dataset consumer feedback, experiences, and citation references
associated with a dataset, the Dataset Usage Vocabulary allows
APIs to be written to support collaboration across the Web by
structurally publishing consumer opinions and experiences, and
provide a means for data consumers and producers to advertise and
search for published open dataset usage.
W3C Invites Implementations of TTML Profiles for Internet Media
Subtitles and Captions 1.0 (IMSC1)
28 January 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5291>
The Timed Text Working Group invites implementation of the
Candidate Recommendation of "TTML Profiles for Internet Media
Subtitles and Captions 1.0 (IMSC1)." This document specifies two
profiles of TTML1: a text-only profile and an image-only profile.
These profiles are intended to be used across subtitle and caption
delivery applications worldwide, thereby simplifying
interoperability, consistent rendering and conversion to other
subtitling and captioning formats.

26 January 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5282>
The Web Application Security Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Content Security Policy Level 3." This document defines
a mechanism by which web developers can control the resources
which a particular page can fetch or execute, as well as a number
of security-relevant policy decisions.
