W3C Integrates Math on the Web with MathML 3 Standard
21 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8932
W3C announces today an important standard for making
mathematics on the Web more accessible and international,
especially for early mathematics education. "MathML 3" is the
third version of a standard supported in a wide variety of
applications including Web pages, e-books, equation editors,
publishing systems, screen readers (that read aloud the
information on a page) and braille displays, ink input devices,
e-learning and computational software. MathML 3 is part of
W3C's Open Web Platform, which includes HTML5, CSS, and SVG.
"We expect wider deployment of MathML 3.0 will facilitate
communication of mathematics and science over the Web," said
Don McClure, Executive Director, American Mathematical Society.

Microdata, which define mechanisms for embedding
machine-readable data in HTML documents, and the
specification HTML Canvas 2D Context, which defines a 2D
immediate-mode graphics API for use with the HTML5 <canvas>
element.
* HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives,
which is intended to help authors provide useful text
alternatives for images in HTML documents.

Call for Review: Mobile Web Application Best Practices Proposed
Recommendation
21 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8936
The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group has published a
Proposed Recommendation of "Mobile Web Application Best
Practices." The goal of this document is to aid the
development of rich and dynamic mobile Web applications. It
collects the most relevant engineering practices, promoting
those that enable a better user experience and warning against
those that are considered harmful. Comments are welcome through
19 November. Learn more about the Mobile Web Initiative
Activity.

XML Processor Profiles Draft Published
21 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8935
The XML Processing Model Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "XML processor profiles." This specification defines
several XML processor profiles, each of which fully determines
a data model for any given XML document. It is intended as a
resource for other specifications, which can by a single
normative reference establish precisely what input processing
they require. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language
(XML) Activity.

Web IDL Draft Published
21 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8934
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Web IDL." This document defines an interface
definition language, Web IDL, that can be used to describe
interfaces that are intended to be implemented in Web browsers.
Web IDL is an IDL variant with a number of features that allow
the behavior of common script objects in the web platform to be
specified more readily. How interfaces described with Web IDL
correspond to constructs within ECMAScript and Java execution
environments is also detailed. Learn more about the Rich Web
Client Activity.

Progress Events Draft Updated
19 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8931
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Progress Events." The Progress Events specification
defines an abstract event interface that can be used for
measuring progress, e.g., in the sense of how much of a
document has loaded. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

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?
