W3C MobileOK To Help Make Web Sites Mobile Friendly
Today, W3C provides new means for people to create and find mobile
friendly content. W3C invites Web authors to run the alpha release
of the W3C mobileOK checker and make their content work on a broad
range of mobile devices. The checker runs the tests defined in the
"W3C mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0" Candidate Recommendation. Read the
press release and testimonials, and come see W3C at Mobile Internet
World in Boston, Massachusetts (USA). (Permalink)

Three SPARQL Proposed Recommendations: SPARQL Query Language for RDF;
Query Results XML Format; Protocol for RDF
The RDF Data Access Working Group has published three SPARQL
Proposed Recommendations: "SPARQL Query Language for RDF," "SPARQL
Query Results XML Format," and "SPARQL Protocol for RDF." The
first specification defines the syntax and semantics of the SPARQL
query language for RDF. SPARQL can be used to express queries across
diverse data sources, whether the data is stored natively as RDF or
viewed as RDF via middleware. The results of SPARQL queries can be
results sets or RDF graphs; the second specification defines an XML
format for the variable binding and boolean results formats. The
third specification uses "WSDL 2.0" to describe an HTTP protocol for
conveying SPARQL queries to an SPARQL query processing service and
returning the query results to the party that made the request.
Comments are welcome through 10 December. Learn more about the
Semantic Web Activity.

Web Services Policy 1.5 Notes: Primer; Guidelines for Policy Assertion
Authors
The Web Services Policy Working Group has published two Group Notes:
"Web Services Policy 1.5 - Primer" and "Web Services Policy 1.5 -
Guidelines for Policy Assertion Authors." The former introduces the
Web Services Policy language with examples. The latter explains how
to use the relevant specifications to maximize interoperability.

W3C mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0 Advances to Candidate Recommendation
The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group has published the
Candidate Recommendation of "W3C mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0." This
document defines the tests that provide the basis for making a claim
of W3C mobileOK Basic conformance and are based on W3C "Mobile Web
Best Practices." You are invited to use the alpha version of the
W3C mobileOK Checker to test your content. Read the press release

W3C Community Convenes at TPAC 2007 to Discuss Web Future
Authors of the next version of HTML mix it up with Semantic Web
developers, security experts, Web accessibility advocates, and the
media on the banks of the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts
(USA). Over 400 experts from around the world will participate in a
compelling Plenary Day Program (TPAC) where they will address issues
shaping the future of the Web. The program includes a panel on the
growing relationships between W3C and the at-large developer
community, the challenges HTML5 and XHTML2 propose to solve, and
W3C's emerging vision of what's needed for video on the Web. The day
culminates with a talk by W3C Director Tim Berners-Lee: "Cracks and
Mortar", a review of the Web to date and a close look at the gaps
for signs of both wear and opportunity. Press are invited to the
event; see the press release and contact w3t-pr@w3.org.
