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.

* 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.

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.

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.

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.
