Last Call: Digital Signatures for Widgets
16 April 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8768
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "Digital Signatures for Widgets." This
document defines a profile of the XML Signature Syntax and
Processing 1.1 specification to allow a widget package to be
digitally signed. Widget authors and distributors can digitally
sign widgets as a mechanism to ensure continuity of authorship
and distributorship. Comments are welcome through 6 May. Learn
more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Associating Schemas with XML documents 1.0 (First Edition) Note
Published
16 April 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8767
The XML Core Working Group has published a Group Note of
"Associating Schemas with XML documents 1.0 (First Edition)."
There are several document schema definition languages in
common use today that can be used to specify one or more
validation processes performed against Extensible Markup
Language (XML) documents. Some schema languages provide their
own syntax for associating schemas with documents (DTD, W3C XML
Schema) and some languages (RELAX NG, Schematron) do not
provide schema association mechanisms at all. The purpose of
this specification is to define a common, schema-agnostic
syntax for associating schema documents written in any schema
definition language with a given XML document. Learn more about
the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Call for Review: XHTML Modularization 1.1 - Second Edition Proposed
Edited Recommendation Published
15 April 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8766
The XHTML2 Working Group has published a Proposed Edited
Recommendation of "XHTML Modularization 1.1 - Second Edition."
This document is the second edition of version 1.1 of XHTML
Modularization, an abstract modularization of XHTML and
implementations of the abstraction using XML Document Type
Definitions (DTDs) and XML Schemas. This modularization
provides a means for subsetting and extending XHTML, a feature
needed for extending XHTML's reach onto emerging platforms.
This specification is intended for use by language designers as
they construct new XHTML Family Markup Languages. This
specification does not define the semantics of elements and
attributes, only how those elements and attributes are
assembled into modules, and from those modules into markup
languages. This update includes several minor updates to
provide clarifications and address errors found in version 1.1.
Comments are welcome through 12 May. Learn more about the HTML
Activity.

Widget Updates Draft Published
13 April 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8765
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Widget Updates." This specification defines a
process and a document format to allow a user agent to update
an installed widget package with different version of a widget
package. A widget cannot update itself; instead, a widget
relies on the user agent to manage the update process. A user
agent can perform an update over HTTP and from non-HTTP sources
(e.g., directly from a device's memory card or hard disk).

Media Fragments URI 1.0 Draft Published
13 April 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8764
The Media Fragments Working Group has published a Working Draft
of "Media Fragments URI 1.0." This specification provides for
a media-format independent, standard means of addressing media
fragments on the Web using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI).
In the context of this document, media fragments are regarded
along three different dimensions: temporal, spatial, and
tracks. Further, a fragment can be marked with a name and then
addressed through a URI using that name. The specified
addressing schemes apply mainly to audio and video resources -
the spatial fragment addressing may also be used on images.

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.
* 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.
