W3C Advisory Committee Elects TAG Participants
The W3C Advisory Committee has elected John Kemp (Nokia), Larry
Masinter (Adobe), and T.V. Raman (Google) to the W3C Technical
Architecture Group (TAG). Continuing TAG participants are Ashok
Malhotra (Oracle), Noah Mendelsohn (IBM, appointed), Jonathan Rees
(Science Commons, appointed), and Henry Thompson (U. of Edinburgh).
The Director is expected to appoint one individual as well. The
mission of the TAG is to build consensus around principles of Web
architecture and to interpret and clarify these principles when
necessary, to resolve issues involving general Web architecture
brought to the TAG, and to help coordinate cross-technology
architecture developments inside and outside W3C.

Use Cases and Requirements for Ontology and API for Media Object 1.0
The Media Annotations Working Group has published the First Public
Working Draft of "Use Cases and Requirements for Ontology and API
for Media Object 1.0." This document specifies use cases and
requirements as an input for the development of the "Ontology for
Media Object 1.0" and the "API for Media Object 1.0". The ontology
will be a simple ontology to support cross-community data
integration of information related to media objects on the Web. The
API will provide read access and potentially write access to media
objects, relying on the definitions from the ontology. Learn more
about the Video in the Web Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of CURIE Syntax 1.0
The XHTML2 Working Group invites implementation of the Candidate
Recommendation of "CURIE Syntax 1.0." This document defines a
generic, abbreviated syntax for expressing URIs. This syntax is
intended to be used as a common element by language designers. The
intended audience for this document is Language designers, not the
users of those Languages. Track implementations in an ongoing
implementation report and learn more about the HTML Activity.
