W3C Launches Web Events Working Group
28 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8944
W3C today launches the Web Events Working Group, whose
chartered mission is to provide methods to enable the use of
multi-touch and pen-tablet input on devices of all types. Web
browsers and mobile devices are making increasing use of
touch-sensitive inputs, such as with a screen, trackpad, or
tablet interface, as the primary or supplementary interface for
web applications. A related class of devices, including drawing
tablets, interactive surfaces, pen devices, digital
whiteboards, and spatial sensors, are also becoming more
Web-enabled, driving the need to account for a wider range of
capability than simple touch interfaces. The aim of this group
is to determine an appropriate set of functionality to
standardize, and to define those features in way that may be
deployed quickly, widely, and interoperably. Learn more about
the Rich Web Client Activity.

Call for Review: CSS Color Module Level 3 Proposed Recommendation
28 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8947
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Proposed Recommendation of "CSS Color Module Level 3." CSS
(Cascading Style Sheets) is a language for describing the
rendering of HTML and XML documents in a variety of ways,
including on screen and paper. CSS uses color-related
properties and values to color the text, backgrounds, borders,
and other parts of elements in a document. This specification
describes color values and properties for foreground color and
group opacity. These include properties and values from CSS
level 2 and new values. Comments are welcome through 25
November. Learn more about the Style Activity.

First Draft of RDB to RDF Mapping Language (R2RML) Published
28 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8946
The RDB2RDF Working Group has published the First Public
Working Draft of "R2RML: RDB to RDF Mapping Language." R2RML
is a language for describing how to put relational data on the
Semantic Web. With R2RML, people express customized mappings
from relational databases to RDF datasets, allowing them to
view existing relational data in the RDF data model, expressed
in their preferred structure and target vocabulary. Learn more
about the Semantic Web Activity.

Associating Style Sheets with XML documents 1.0 (Second Edition)
Published
28 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8945
The XML Core Working Group has revised the W3C Recommendation
of "Associating Style Sheets with XML documents 1.0 (Second
Edition)." This document allows style sheets to be associated
with an XML document by including one or more processing
instructions with a target of xml-stylesheet in the document's
prolog. The second edition incorporates all known errata as of
the publication date, clarifies several areas left unspecified
in the earlier edition, and has been restructured to allow
other specifications to reuse the rules for parsing
pseudo-attributes from a string. See the "full list of changes"
. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
Activity.

First Draft of Navigation Timing Draft Published
26 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8942
The Web Performance Working Group has published the First
Public Working Draft of "Navigation Timing." To address the
need for complete information on user experience, this document
introduces the NavigationTiming interfaces. This interface
allows JavaScript mechanisms to provide complete client-side
latency measurements within applications. With the proposed
interface, it will be possible, for instance, to measure a
user's perceived page load time. Learn more about the Rich Web
Client Activity.

Last Call: SOAP over Java Message Service 1.0
26 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8941
The SOAP-JMS Binding Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "SOAP over Java Message Service 1.0." This
document specifies how SOAP binds to a messaging system that
supports the Java Message Service (JMS). Bindings are specified
for both SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 using the SOAP 1.2 Protocol
Binding Framework. This specification also describes how to use
WSDL documents to indicate and control the use of this binding.
Comments are welcome through 19 November. Learn more about the
Web Services Activity.

Last Call: RDFa Core 1.1
26 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8940
The RDFa Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft
of "RDFa Core 1.1." RDFa Core is a specification for
attributes to express structured data in any markup language,
with an emphasis on HTML-family languages, the Scalable Vector
Graphics (SVG) Format, the Open Document Format and other
Web-enabled document formats. The specification enables the
human-readable and machine-readable markup of people, places,
events, products, recipes, social networks, and many other
concepts that are frequently published on the web. RDFa 1.1
improves upon RDFa 1.0 by adding a number of features requested
by people to ease authoring. The announcement as a Last Call
Working Draft is an open invitation to the general public to
review and provide feedback on the specification via the RDFa
Working Group mailing list. The deadline for review feedback is
6 December. Learn more about the Semantic Web.

First Draft of File API: Directories and System Published; Two APIs
and Widget Requirements Updated
26 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8939
The Web Applications Working Group published three
specifications today, including a first draft of "File API:
Directories and System," which defines an API to navigate file
system hierarchies, and defines a means by which a user agent
may expose sandboxed sections of a user's local filesystem to
Web Applications. The API builds on the other two updated
specifications, "File API: Writer" and "File API." The Working
Group also updated the "Widget Requirements." A widget is an
interactive single purpose application for displaying and/or
updating local data or data on the Web, packaged in a way to
allow a single download and installation on a user's machine or
mobile device. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Web Content Transformation Proxies 1.0 Retired
26 October 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8938
W3C today retired "Guidelines for Web Content Transformation
Proxies 1.0." This document had been expected to become a W3C
Recommendation. W3C published the document as a Candidate
Recommendation in June. Since then, the Mobile Web Best
Practices Working Group has not gathered sufficient evidence of
implementation and W3C has therefore decided to discontinue
work on this document.

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?
