Media Advisory: W3C to Lead Discussions on HTML5, Linked Open Data at WWW2010

W3C to Lead Discussions on HTML5, Linked Open Data at WWW2010

http://www.w3.org/ — 20 April 2010 -- The World Wide Web Consortium 
(W3C) invites WWW2010 conference participants to attend two W3C track 
sessions on April 29 and 30 in Raleigh, North Carolina (USA). Responding 
to the Web community’s demand for open discussion on the future of HTML5 
and Linked Data, W3C organizes this year an HTML5 camp and a Linked Open 
Data camp, where developers and researchers can focus on these current 
hot topics in Web development. The WWW conference is a premier 
opportunity for W3C to discuss with the community the direction and 
implementation of these technologies.

Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director, will lead off the Linked Open Data camp 
and participate in discussions on topics such as open data deployment in 
government and managing privacy as the Web of data grows. At the HTML5 
camp on April 30, W3C staff will lead discussions on what developers can 
expect today and in the near future from the open Web platform that is 
HTML5.

Track participants will — unconference-style — identify two to four 
topics for discussion in the afternoon of each day-long camp. In 
addition, W3C invites discussion topic suggestions via the track wikis, 
and ideas twitter feed (#w3ctrack).

W3C staff, including W3C’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Jaffe, will 
participate in and lead events co-located with WWW2010, including the 
7th annual International Cross-Disciplinary Conference on Web 
Accessibility (W4A2010), the Web Science Conference (WebSci10), and the 
FutureWeb 2010 (FutureWeb).

All events will take place 26-30 April at the Raleigh Convention Center, 
in Raleigh, NC.

The annual World Wide Web Conference is (according to the conference 
site) "a forum for discussion and debate about the evolution of the Web, 
the standardization of its associated technologies, and the impact of 
those technologies on society and culture. The conferences bring 
together researchers, developers, users and commercial ventures – indeed 
all who are passionate about the Web and what it has to offer."
