Dear W3C Public Newsletter Subscriber, The 2008-06-24 version of the W3C Public Newsletter is online: http://www.w3.org/News/Public/pnews-20080624 A simplified plain text version is available below. Ian Jacobs, W3C Communications Team ----------------------------------- W3C Invites Implementations of RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing (Candidate Recommendation); Primer Updated The Semantic Web Deployment Working Group and XHTML2 Working Group have published a Candidate Recommendation of "RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing." Web documents contain significant amounts of structured data, which is largely unavailable to tools and applications. When publishers can express this data more completely, and when tools can read it, a new world of user functionality becomes available, letting users transfer structured data between applications and web sites, and allowing browsing applications to improve the user experience. RDFa is a specification for attributes to be used with languages such as HTML and XHTML to express structured data. See the groups' RDFa implementation report. The Working Groups also updated the companion document "RDFa Primer." Learn more about the Semantic Web and the HTML Activity. http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/ http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/ http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/CR-rdfa-syntax-20080620/ http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/implementation-report/ http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-xhtml-rdfa-primer-20080620/ http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Activity Last Call: W3C XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) 1.1 (Structures, Datatypes) The XML Schema Working Group has published Last Call Working Drafts of "W3C XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) 1.1 Part 1: Structures" and " Part 2: Datatypes." The former specifies the XML Schema Definition Language, which offers facilities for describing the structure and constraining the contents of XML documents, including those which exploit the XML Namespace facility. The latter defines facilities for defining datatypes to be used in XML Schemas as well as other XML specifications. Comments are welcome through 12 September. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity. http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-xmlschema11-1-20080620/ http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-xmlschema11-2-20080620/ http://www.w3.org/XML/ Last Call: Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) Version 1.1 The Voice Browser Working Group has released the Last Call Working Draft of "Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) Version 1.1." SSML provides a rich, XML-based markup language for assisting the generation of synthetic speech in Web and other applications. SSML 1.1 improves on W3C's "SSML 1.0 Recommendation" by adding support for more conventions and practices of the world's languages including Asian, Eastern European, and Middle Eastern languages. Comments are welcome through 20 July.
