Updated Techniques for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
2.0
14 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8930
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group today
published updates of two Notes that accompany WCAG 2.0:
"Techniques for WCAG 2.0" and "Understanding WCAG 2.0." (This
is not an update to WCAG 2.0, which is a stable document.) To
learn more about these updates and about contributing to future
updates, see the New and Improved WCAG 2.0 Techniques blog
post. Read about the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

W3C Updates Five SPARQL 1.1 Drafts
14 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8928
The SPARQL Working Group has published updated drafts of the
following SPARQL 1.1 documents. SPARQL is a set of
specfications related to querying a web of linked data. Learn
more about the Semantic Web.
http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Main_Page
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/
* SPARQL 1.1 Query adds support for aggregates, subqueries,
projected expressions, and negation to the SPARQL query
language.
* SPARQL 1.1 Update defines an update language for RDF
graphs.
* SPARQL 1.1 Service Description defines a vocabulary and
discovery mechanism for describing the capabilities of a
SPARQL endpoint.
* SPARQL 1.1 Uniform HTTP Protocol for Managing RDF Graphs
describes the use of the HTTP protocol for managing named
RDF graphs on an HTTP server.
* SPARQL 1.1 Entailment Regimes defines conditions under
which SPARQL queries can be used with entailment regimes
such as RDF, RDF Schema, OWL, or RIF.
W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Style Attributes
14 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8927
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group invites
implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of "CSS Style
Attributes." Markup languages such as HTML and SVG provide a
style attribute on most elements, to hold inline style
information that applies to those elements. One of the possible
style sheet languages is CSS. This draft describes the syntax
and interpretation of the CSS fragment that can be used in such
style attributes. Learn more about the Style Activity.

Workshops
* 2010-10-26 (26 OCT) – 2010-10-27 (27 OCT)
The Multilingual Web - Where Are We?
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/madrid/cfp
Madrid, Spain
Hosted by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid
Today, the World Wide Web is fundamental to communication
in all walks of life. As the share of English web pages
decreases and that of other languages increases, it is
vitally important to ensure the multilingual success of the
World Wide Web.
The MultilingualWeb project is looking at best practices
and standards related to all aspects of creating,
localizing and deploying the Web multilingually. The
project aims to raise the visibility of existing best
practices and standards and identify gaps. The core vehicle
for this is a series of four events which are planned for
the coming two years. As the first of the four events, this
workshop will introduce and review currently available best
practices and standards aimed at helping content creators,
localizers, tools developers, and others meet the
challenges of the multilingual Web.
* 2010-12-08 ( 8 DEC) – 2010-12-09 ( 9 DEC)
How can Technology help to improve Privacy on the Internet?
http://www.iab.org/about/workshops/privacy/
Cambridge, MA, USA
Jointly organized by the Internet Architecture Board (IAB),
Internet Society (ISOC), MIT, and W3C
Who we are (e.g. our thoughts, dreams, feelings, DNA
sequence), what we own (such as financial property), what
we have experienced and how we behave
(audio/visual/olfactory transcripts), and how we can be
reached (location, endpoint identifiers) are among the most
personal pieces of information about us. More and more of
this information is being digitized and made available
electronically. The question for us therefore is: How can
we ensure that architectures and technologies for the
Internet, including the World Wide Web, are developed in a
way that respects users’ privacy?
