Grid Positioning: CSS3 Working Draft

   The CSS Working Group released the First Public Working Draft of the
   "CSS Grid Positioning Module" for Level 3 of the Cascading Style
   Sheets (CSS) language. It applies the traditional grid systems used
   in books and newspapers to online content and complements the
   different approach defined in the "CSS Advanced Layout Module."
   Grids may be explicitly authored or implied and combined with "Media
   Queries." Visit the CSS home page.

Note: Web Applications and User Interfaces

   The Web Application Formats Working Group has published "Declarative
   Formats for Applications and User Interfaces" as a Working Group
   Note. The note recommends that the Working Group stop formal work on
   this deliverable and includes some potential options if W3C Members
   choose to do related work. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
   Activity.

GRDDL Standard Provides Bridge from Web Documents to the Semantic Web

   The World Wide Web Consortium today released "GRDDL" and "GRDDL Test
   Cases" as Recommendations. GRDDL enables authors to extract data
   from their documents automatically, enabling them to reuse their
   data and enrich it by connecting to the Semantic Web. Give the W3C
   GRDDL Service a try! Read the "GRDDL Primer," the press release and
   testimonials, and about the Semantic Web.
