Dear W3C Public Newsletter Subscriber, The 2010-04-05 version of the W3C Public Newsletter is online: http://www.w3.org/News/Public/pnews-20100405 A simplified plain text version is available below. Ian Jacobs, W3C Communications Team ----------------------------------- XML Entity Definitions for Characters is a W3C Recommendation 01 April 2010 | Archive http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8761 The Math Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation of "XML Entity Definitions for Characters." Notation and symbols have proved very important for human communication, especially in scientific documents. Mathematics has grown in part because its notation continually changes toward being succinct and suggestive. On the Web, the majority of cases it is preferable to store characters directly as Unicode character data or as XML numeric character references. This document is the result of years of employing entity names on the Web. It presents a completed listing harmonizing the known uses of character entity names throughout the XML world and Unicode.

This document describes CCXML, or the Call Control eXtensible Markup Language. CCXML provides declarative markup to describe telephony call control. It can provide a complete telephony service application, comprised of Web server CGI compliant application logic, one or more CCXML documents to declare and perform call control actions, and to control one or more dialog applications that perform user media interactions. CCXML is a language that can be used with a dialog system such as (but not limited to) VoiceXML.

Research work on model-based design of context-sensitive user interfaces has sought to address the challenge of reducing the costs for developing and maintaining multi-target user interfaces through a layered architecture that separates out different concerns. Workshop participants will collectively help to identify opportunities and challenges for new open standards in the area, particularly concerning the semantics and syntaxes of task, abstract and concrete user interface models. In addition, workshop participants will have the opportunity to discuss the role of model-based approaches in relation to other standards, for instance, XForms, ANSI/CEA-2018 and MDA, and the relationship to work on standards for Web delivery including HTML5 and browser scripting APIs. * 2010-06-18 (18 JUN) – 2010-06-19 (19 JUN) W3C Workshop on Conversational Applications http://www.w3.org/2010/02/convapps/cfp Somerset, NJ, USA Openstream The goal of the workshop is to understand the limitations of the current W3C language model in order to develop a more comprehensive model. We plan to collect and analyze use cases and prioritize requirements that ultimately will be used to identify improvements to the W3C language model. Just as W3C developed SSML 1.1 to broaden the languages for which SSML is useful, this effort will result in improved support for language capabilities that are unsupported today. * 2010-06-26 (26 JUN) – 2010-06-27 (27 JUN) RDF Next Steps http://www.w3.org/2009/12/rdf-ws/ Palo Alto, CA Hosted by the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO), at Stanford University The goal of the workshop is to gather feedback from the Web community on whether and, if yes, in which direction "RDF" should evolve. One of the main issues the Workshop should help deciding is whether it is timely for W3C to start a new RDF Working Group to define and standardize a next version of RDF. http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-primer-20040210/ W3C Blog * HTML5 Meetup - Paris http://www.w3.org/QA/2010/03/html_5_meetup_-_paris 31 March 2010 by Philippe Le Hégaret http://www.w3.org/People/LeHegaret/ Upcoming Talks * 2010-04-07 (7 APR) Mobile Web Application Best Practices: Review workshop by Eyal Sela Mobile Web Application Best Practices: Review workshop http://www.w3c.org.il/article/mobile_application_review Petach Tikva, Israel * 2010-04-08 (8 APR) Enlazando Datos de la Administración Pública http://www.w3c.es/Presentaciones/2010/0408-lgdDiaW3CAdmin-M A by Martín Álvarez Día W3C en la Administración Pública http://www.w3c.es/Eventos/2010/DiaW3Cadmin Zaragoza, Spain * 2010-04-08 (8 APR) The future from now... on the internet http://www.w3.org/2010/Talks/04-08-steven-future/ by Steven Pemberton Solar Initiative Lecture Series http://www.solar.nl/ Amsterdam, The Netherlands * 2010-04-19 (19 APR) Unleashing Opportunities through Accessibility keynote by Shawn Henry 2010 UIC Digital Accessibility Expo http://uicweb.net/dae2010 Chicago, IL, USA * 2010-04-23 (23 APR) Distributed Multimodality in the Multimodal Architecture by Deborah Dahl Mobile Voice Conference http://www.mobilevoiceconference.com/ San Francisco, USA * 2010-05-10 (10 MAY) Web Accessibility from the Usability and UX Perspectives by Shawn Henry AccessU, Usability Track http://www.knowbility.org/conference/?content=usabilitytrac k Austin, TX, USA * 2010-05-10 (10 MAY) Accessibility Now keynote by Shawn Henry AccessU http://www.knowbility.org/conference/ Austin, TX, USA * 2010-05-24 (24 MAY) Develop a Web Accessibility Business Case for Your Organization by Shawn Henry UPA 2010: Embracing Cultural Diversity – User Experience Design for the World https://www.usabilityprofessionals.org/conference/2010/inde x.new Munich, Germany * 2010-05-27 (27 MAY) How Does Accessibility Fit into Today’s Usability Practice? panel features Shawn Henry UPA 2010: Embracing Cultural Diversity – User Experience Design for the World https://www.usabilityprofessionals.org/conference/2010/inde x.new Munich, Germany W3C Membership Lear more about the benefits of W3C Membership.
