W3C Launches Library Linked Data Incubator Group
21 May 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8803
W3C is pleased to announce the creation of the Library Linked
Data Incubator Group, whose mission is to help increase global
interoperability of library data on the Web, by bringing
together people involved in Semantic Web activities - focusing
on Linked Data - in the library community and beyond, building
on existing initiatives, and identifying collaboration tracks
for the future. The following W3C Members have sponsored the
charter for this group: Helsinki University of Technology, DERI
Galway, Competence Centre for Interoperable Metadata (KIM),
Library of Congress, Los Alamos National Laboratory, MIMOS,
OCLC, Talis, University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, and Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam. Read more about the Incubator Activity,
an initiative to foster development of emerging Web-related
technologies. Incubator Activity work is not on the W3C
standards track but in many cases serves as a starting point
for a future Working Group.

W3C Welcomes Comments on First Draft of XML Processor Profiles
18 May 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8802
The XML Processing Model Working Group has published the First
Public Working Draft of "XML processor profiles." This
specification defines several XML processor profiles, each of
which fully determines a data model for any given XML document.
It is intended as a resource for other specifications, which
can by a single normative reference establish precisely what
input processing they require. Learn more about the Extensible
Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Last Call for Drafts Related to XML Security: Encryption, SIgnature,
Generic Hybrid Ciphers
17 May 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8801
The XML Security Working Group has published three Last Call
Working Drafts: "XML Encryption Syntax and Processing Version
1.1," "XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version 1.1," and
"XML Security Generic Hybrid Ciphers." The group also
published a Working Draft of "XML Security Algorithm
Cross-Reference." XML Encryption specifies a process for
encrypting data and representing the result in XML. XML
Signatures provide integrity, message authentication, and/or
signer authentication services for data of any type, whether
located within the XML that includes the signature or
elsewhere. The third document augments XML Encryption by
defining algorithms, XML types and elements necessary to enable
use of generic hybrid ciphers in XML Security applications. The
final document summarizes XML Security algorithm URI
identifiers and the specifications associated with them. Last
Call comments are welcome through 10 June. Learn more about the
Security Activity.

State Chart XML (SCXML) Draft Published
17 May 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8800
The Voice Browser Working Group has published a Working Draft
of "State Chart XML (SCXML): State Machine Notation for Control
Abstraction." SCXML is a general-purpose event-based state
machine language that can be used in many ways. It can be used
as a high-level dialog language controlling VoiceXML 3.0's
encapsulated speech modules. It can also be used as a voice
application metalanguage, where in addition to VoiceXML 3.0
functionality, it may also control database access and business
logic modules. Learn more about the Voice Browser Activity.

Workshops
* 2010-06-15 (15 JUN) – 2010-06-16 (16 JUN)
Augmented Reality on the Web
http://www.w3.org/2010/04/W3C-augmented-reality-workshop-om
web.htm
Barcelona, Spain
Augmented reality (AR) is a long standing topic in its own
right but it has not been developed on the Web platform. As
mobile devices become more powerful and feature-rich, the
workshop will explore the possible convergence of AR and
the Web. The objective of this Workshop is to provide a
single forum for researchers and technologists to discuss
the state of the art for AR on the Web, particularly the
mobile platform, and what role standardization should play
for Open Augmented Reality.
* 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.

W3C Workshop on Privacy for Advanced Web APIs
http://www.w3.org/2010/api-privacy-ws/
London, England
Hosted by Vodafone
As the Web advances toward becoming an application
development platform that addresses needs previously met by
native applications, work proceeds on APIs to access
information that was previously not available to Web
developers. The broad availability of possibly sensitive
data collected through location sensors and other
facilities in a Web browser is just one example of the
broad new privacy challenges that the Web faces today.
Earlier approaches to address privacy issues for the Web,
especially through policy languages, have not seen broad
implementation in current-generation Web browsers.
This workshop serves to investigate strategies toward
better privacy protection on the Web that are effective and
lead to benefits in the near term.
