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)." Learn more about the Semantic Web.

Last Call for Two XML Signature Drafts; Other Drafts Updated
04 February 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8712
The XML Security Working Group published two Last Call Working
Drafts:
http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/
* XML Signature Syntax and Processing 1.1, which specifies
XML syntax and processing rules for creating and
representing digital signatures. 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."

Comments Welcome on First Draft of The System Information API
02 February 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8710
The Device APIs and Policy Working Group has published the
First Public Working Draft of "The System Information API."
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. Learn more
about the Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.
