W3C Invites Implementations of Guidelines for Web Content
Transformation Proxies 1.0

   17 June 2010 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8833

   The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group invites
   implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of "Guidelines
   for Web Content Transformation Proxies 1.0." This document
   provides guidance to Content Transformation proxies as to
   whether and how to transform Web content. Content
   Transformation proxies are mostly used to convert Web sites
   designed for desktop computers to a form suitable for mobile
   devices. The objective is to reduce undesirable effects on Web
   applications, especially mobile-ready ones, and to limit the
   diversity in the modes of operation of Content Transformation
   proxies, while at the same time allowing proxies to alter
   content that would otherwise not display successfully on mobile
   devices. Learn more about the Mobile Web Initiative.

   17 June 2010 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8834

   The User Agent Accessibility Guidelines Working Group has
   published an updated Working Draft of the "User Agent
   Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) 2.0." UAAG defines how
   browsers, media players, and other "user agents" should support
   accessibility for people with disabilities and work with
   assistive technologies. This draft includes updates to focus
   behavior and indication, form submission, and relative font
   sizes. The Working Group requests comments now in preparation
   for Last Call. The Working Group also published a Working Draft
   of the "Implementing UAAG 2.0" supporting Note. Read the
   invitation to review the UAAG 2.0 Working Draft and about the
   Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Workshops

     * 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.
     * 2010-09-02 ( 2 SEP) – 2010-09-03 ( 3 SEP)
       Web on TV
       http://www.w3.org/2010/09/web-on-tv/
       Tokyo, Japan
       With the support of the Japan Ministry of Internal Affairs
       and Communications
       The demand for access to applications, video, and other
       network services continues to grow. The Web platform itself
       continues its expansion to support mobile devices,
       television, home appliances, in-car systems, and more
       consumer electronics. To meet the growing demand, the Web
       platform of the future will require smarter integration of
       non-PC devices with Web technology so that both hardware
       and software vendors can provide richer Web applications on
       various devices at lower costs.
