Web Services Policy 1.5: Proposed Recommendations

   W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of Web Services Policy
   1.5 to Proposed Recommendation. The Policy "Framework" model
   expresses the nature of Web services in order to convey conditions
   for their interaction. "Attachment" defines how to associate
   policies, for example within WSDL or UDDI, with subjects to which
   they apply. Comments are welcome through 17 August. Read about the
   Web Services Policy Working Group and Web services.

POWDER: Grouping Sets of Resources

   The POWDER Working Group has published the First Public Working
   Draft of "Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER): Grouping
   of Resources." POWDER is a way to attach small, easily-produced
   annotations to large collections of Web content. Web resources can
   then be retrieved, personalized and delivered in a variety of
   delivery contexts to meet both social needs for content labels and
   commercial requirements for content adaptation. Visit the Semantic
   Web home page.

XML Pipeline Language: Working Draft

   The XML Processing Model Working Group has published a Working Draft
   of "XProc: An XML Pipeline Language." Used to control and organize
   the flow of documents, the XProc language standardizes interactions,
   inputs and outputs for transformations for the large group of
   specifications such as XSLT, XML Schema, XInclude and Canonical XML
   that operate on and produce XML documents. Learn more about the
   Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity

Semantic Annotations for WSDL and XML Schema: Proposed Recommendation

   W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of "Semantic Annotations
   for WSDL and XML Schema" (SAWSDL) to Proposed Recommendation. With
   these attributes, semantic annotations can be added to Web Services
   Description Language (WSDL) components for use in classifying,
   discovering, matching, composing, and invoking Web services.
   Comments are welcome through 17 August. Read about the SAWSDL
   Working Group and about Web services.

Widgets 1.0 Requirements: Working Draft

   The Web Application Formats Working Group has released an updated
   Working Draft of "Widgets 1.0 Requirements." These design goals are
   the requirements for device-independent standards for scripting,
   digitally signing, securing, packaging and deploying client-side Web
   applications (widgets). Also known as gadgets or modules, widgets
   are small programs like clocks, stock tickers, news casters, games
   and weather forecasters that display and update remote data and run
   on the Web browser environment. Read about Rich Web Clients.
