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. Learn more
about the Math Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of Voice Browser Call Control: CCXML
Version 1.0
01 April 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8760
The Voice Browser Working Group invites implementation of the
Candidate Recommendation of "Voice Browser Call Control: CCXML
Version 1.0." 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. Learn more about the Voice
Browser Activity.

Workshops
* 2010-05-13 (13 MAY) – 2010-05-14 (14 MAY)
Workshop on Future Standards for Model-Based User
Interfaces
http://www.w3.org/2010/02/mbui/cfp
Rome, Italy
Hosted by CNR/ISTI
Web application developers face increasing difficulties due
to wide variations in device capabilities, in the details
of the standards they support, the need to support
assistive technologies for accessibility, the demand for
richer user interfaces, the suites of programming languages
and libraries, and the need to contain costs and meet
challenging schedules during the development and
maintenance of applications. 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.

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.
