Last Call: Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) 2.0,
Implementating ATAG 2.0
08 July 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8852
The Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines Working Group has
published Last Call Working Drafts of "Authoring Tool
Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) 2.0" and the companion document
"Implementing ATAG 2.0." ATAG defines how authoring tools
should help developers produce accessible web content that
conforms to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.
The ATAG documents also describe how to make authoring tools
accessible so that people with disabilities can use them.
Comments are welcome through 2 September 2010. Read the
invitation to review the ATAG 2.0 Last Call Working Draft and
about the Web Accessibility Initiative (WA).

RDF Workshop Report Emphasizes Support for JSON, Turtle, Other
Formats
09 July 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8854
The last week of June, participants at the W3C RDF Next Steps
Workshop concluded that support for JSON, Turtle, and for
"Named Graphs" are top priorities for any future work on RDF.
Participants also highlighted the importance of compatibility
with existing deployment. Read about these and other topics in
the Workshop report. To join the discussion about organizing
future work on RDF, please share your thoughts on the Semantic
Web Interest Group mailing list (with a copy to the separate
RDF Comments list). W3C thanks the National Center for
Biomedical Ontology at Stanford, Palo Alto, USA, for hosting
the Workshop. Learn more about the Semantic Web.

Workshops
* 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.

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.
