First Draft of RDFa API Published
08 June 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8825
The RDFa Working Group has published the First Public Working
Draft of the "RDFa API." RDFa API provides a mechanism that
allows Web-based applications using documents containing "RDFa"
markup to extract and utilize structured data in a way that is
useful to developers. The specification details how a developer
may extract, store and query structured data contained within
one or more RDFa-enabled documents. The design of the system is
modular and allows multiple pluggable extraction and storage
mechanisms supporting not only RDFa, but also Microformats,
Microdata, and other structured data formats. For more
information about the Semantic Web, please see the Semantic Web
Activity.

Comments Welcome on First Draft of Requirements and Use Cases for
XSLT 2.1
10 June 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8828
The XSL Working Group has published the First Public Working
Draft of "Requirements and Use Cases for XSLT 2.1." This
document is a characterization of requirements and use cases
for XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 2.1. The relative
priorities to be assigned to these different enhancements are
still being decided. W3C welcomes input to the XSL Working
Group to help in that process. Learn more about the Extensible
Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Last Call: Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 3.0
10 June 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8827
The Math Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft
of "Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 3.0." MathML
is an XML application for describing mathematical notation and
capturing both its structure and content. The goal of MathML is
to enable mathematics to be served, received, and processed on
the World Wide Web, just as HTML has enabled this functionality
for text. MathML can be used to encode both mathematical
notation and mathematical content. About thirty-eight of the
MathML tags describe abstract notational structures, while
another about one hundred and seventy provide a way of
unambiguously specifying the intended meaning of an expression.
Comments are welcome through 01 July. Learn more about the Math
Activity.

W3C Invites Comments on First Draft of Use Cases and Requirements for
Mapping Relational Databases to RDF
08 June 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8826
The RDB2RDF Working Group has published the First Public
Working Draft of "Use Cases and Requirements for Mapping
Relational Databases to RDF." The need to share data with
collaborators motivates custodians and users of relational
databases (RDB) to expose relational data on the Web of Data.
This document examines a set of use cases from science and
industry, taking relational data and exposing it in patterns
conforming to shared RDF schemata. These use cases expose a set
of functional requirements for exposing relational data as RDF
in the RDB2RDF Mapping Language (R2RML). Learn more about the
Semantic Web Activity.

Web Services SOAP Assertions (WS-SOAPAssertions) First Draft
Published

http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8824
The Web Services Resource Access Working Group has published
the First Public Working Draft of "Web Services SOAP Assertions
(WS-SOAPAssertions)." This specification defines two WS-Policy
assertions that can be used to advertise the requirement to use
a certain version of SOAP in message exchanges. Learn more

CSS Generated Content for Paged Media Module Draft Published
08 June 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8823
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Generated Content for Paged Media Module"
. This module describes features often used in printed
publications. Most of the specified functionality involves some
sort of generated content where content from the document is
adorned, replicated, or moved in the final presentation of the
document. Along with two other CSS3 modules - multi-column
layout and paged media - this module offers advanced
functionality for presenting structured documents on paged
media. Learn more about the Style Activity.

Last Call: Ontology for Media Resource 1.0, API for Media Resource
1.0
08 June 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8822
The Media Annotations Working Group has published Last Call
Working Drafts of "Ontology for Media Resource 1.0" and " API
for Media Resource 1.0." The former document defines the
Ontology for Media Resource 1.0. This ontology, or "core
vocabulary," is meant to bridge the different descriptions of
media resources on the Web, as opposed to media resources in
local archives or musea. It is defined based on a core set of
properties which covers basic metadata to describe media
resources. The ontology is designed to foster the
interoperability among various kinds of metadata formats
currently used to describe media resources on the Web. The
latter specification defines a client-side API to access
metadata information related to media resources on the Web.
Comments are welcome through 11 July. Learn more about the
Video in the Web 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.
