W3C Organizes Workshop on Improving Access to Financial Data on the Web
W3C invites people to participate in a Workshop on Improving Access
to Financial Data on the Web on 5-6 October 2009 in Arlington,
Virginia (USA). Workshop participants will discuss how to achieve
greater transparency and more efficient reporting and analysis of
business and financial data for companies and governments. The
Workshop is jointly organized by W3C and XBRL International, with
hosting support from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC). The extensible business reporting language (XBRL), is being
widely adopted all around the world, and is set to become the
standard way of recording, storing and transmitting business
financial information. While effort on XBRL so far has gone into
developing the standards and taxonomies of reporting concepts,
comparatively little effort has been spent on how to exploit the
expected flood of data. The goal of the Workshop is to identify
opportunities, use cases, and challenges for interactive access to
financial data expressed in XBRL and related languages, and the
broader opportunities for using Semantic Web technologies. The
Workshop is free of charge and open to anyone, subject to review of
their statement of interest and space availability. Statements of
interest (position papers) are due 21 August. See the call for
participation for more information. Learn more about the Semantic
Web.

Best Practices for Authoring HTML: Handling Right-to-left Scripts Draft
Published
The Internationalization Core Working Group has published the
Working Draft of "Best Practices for Authoring HTML: Handling
Right-to-left Scripts." This document provides advice for the use
of HTML markup and CSS style sheets to create pages for languages
that use right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian,
Thaana, Urdu, etc. It explains how to create content in
right-to-left scripts that builds on but goes beyond the Unicode
bidirectional algorithm, as well as how to prepare content for
localization into right-to-left scripts. Learn more about the
Internationalization Activity.

XML Signature Correction Addresses Security Issue
The XML Security Working Group has published a proposed correction
to the "XML Signature" specification. The correction addresses a
specification-level security issue that can lead to an
authentication bypass (CVE-2009-0217). It will be incorporated into
an upcoming Working Draft for the "XML Signature 1.1" specification.
For information about affected implementations, see CERT
Vulnerability Note 466161. For more information about the issue, see
the W3C Q&A blog. Learn more about W3C's Security Activity.
