Ian Jacobs, W3C Communications Team ----------------------------------- W3C Launches RDFa Working Group 02 February 2010 | Archive http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8711 W3C launched today the RDFa Working Group, whose mission is to support the use of RDFa, a format for embedding structured data in Web documents. The Working Group's goals include making it easier to author RDFa, promoting continued adoption of the technology in HTML, XHTML, and XML, and helping developers create RDFa applications. The group is chartered to extend and enhance "RDFa 1.0," including the specification of an API. The Working Group will also support the HTML Working Group in its work on incorporating RDFa in HTML5 and XHTML5 (as a followup on the the currently published "Working Draft for RDFa 1.0 in HTML5)."

This document describes initial design notes for version 2.0 of the Formatting Object (FO) part of the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL).

XML Signatures can be applied to any digital content, including XML. * XML Signature Properties, which outlines proposed standard XML Signature Properties syntax and processing rules and an associated namespace for these properties. The intent is these can be composed with any version of XML Signature using the XML SignatureProperties element. The group welcomes Last Call comments through 18 March. The group also published several other drafts today: "XML Security 1.1 Requirements and Design Considerations," "XML Security RELAX NG Schemas," "XML Security 2.0 Requirements and Design Considerations," "XML Signature Transform Simplification: Requirements and Design," and "XML Signature Best Practices."

This specification defines an API to provide Web applications with access to various properties of the system which they are running on. Specifically, properties pertaining to the device hardware are addressed. Examples include battery status, current network bandwidth. Additionally, some of those properties offer access to the environment around the device, such as ambient brightness or atmospheric pressure.
