Dear W3C Public Newsletter Subscriber, The 2010-06-07 version of the W3C Public Newsletter is online: http://www.w3.org/News/Public/pnews-20100607 A simplified plain text version is available below. Ian Jacobs, W3C Communications Team ----------------------------------- First Draft of SPARQL 1.1 Federation Extensions Published; Five SPARQL 1.1 Drafts Updated 01 June 2010 | Archive http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8809 The SPARQL Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "SPARQL 1.1 Federation Extensions," which defines extensions to the SPARQL Query Language to support distributed SPARQL query execution. The group also published 5 updates, listed below. The group seeks feedback, particularly on open issues identified in each document. Learn more about the Semantic Web. http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Main_Page http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-sparql11-federated-query-20100601/ http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/track/issues/open http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ * SPARQL 1.1 Query adds support for aggregates, subqueries, projected expressions, and negation to the SPARQL query language. * SPARQL 1.1 Update defines an update language for RDF graphs. * SPARQL 1.1 Service Description defines a vocabulary and discovery mechanism for describing the capabilities of a SPARQL endpoint. * SPARQL 1.1 Uniform HTTP Protocol for Managing RDF Graphs describes the use of the HTTP protocol for managing named RDF graphs on an HTTP server. * SPARQL 1.1 Entailment Regimes defines conditions under which SPARQL queries can be used with entailment regimes such as RDF, RDF Schema, OWL, or RIF.

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. http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-primer-20040210/ * 2010-07-12 (12 JUL) – 2010-07-13 (13 JUL) 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.
