Internet Society Reconfirms Support for W3C Open Web Platform with
Donation
17 November 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8957
In its continuing efforts to foster an open Internet ecosystem,
the Internet Society today announced a 1M USD donation to the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This donation, the second
installment of the Internet Society's 2009 pledge of 2.5M USD
over three years, will support the evolution of W3C as an
organization that creates open Web standards. "The W3C is a key
member of the ecosystem of organizations that supports the
continued development, operation, and use of the open, global
Internet," said Raúl Echeberría, Chair of the Internet Society
Board of Trustees. ISOC and W3C have closely aligned views and
strongly support the ongoing evolution of open Internet as an
invaluable platform for innovation. Read more in the press
release and FAQ about ISOC and W3C.

HTML5 Web Messaging Draft Published
19 November 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8960
The Web Applications Working Group has published the First
Public Working Draft of "HTML5 Web Messaging." This
specification defines two mechanisms for communicating between
browsing contexts in HTML documents. Cross document messaging
allows documents to communicate with each other regardless of
their source domain, in a way designed to not enable cross-site
scripting attacks. Channel messaging allows independent pieces
of code (e.g. running in different browsing contexts) to
communicate directly. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

Timed Text Markup Language (TTML) 1.0 is a W3C Recommendation
18 November 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8959
The Timed Text Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation
of "Timed Text Markup Language (TTML) 1.0." TTML 1.0 provides
a standardized representation of a particular subset of textual
information with which stylistic, layout, and timing semantics
are associated by an author or an authoring system for the
purpose of interchange and potential presentation. Learn more
about the Video in the Web Activity.

First Draft of A Direct Mapping of Relational Data to RDF Published
18 November 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8958
The RDB2RDF Working Group has published the First Public
Working Draft of "A Direct Mapping of Relational Data to RDF."
The need to share data with collaborators motivates custodians
and users of relational databases (RDB) to expose relational
data on the Web of Data. This document defines a direct mapping
from relational data to RDF. This definition provides extension
points for refinements within and outside of this document.

Last Call: WOFF File Format 1.0
16 November 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8956
The WebFonts Working Group has published a Last Call Working
Draft of "WOFF File Format 1.0." This document specifies a
simple compressed file format for fonts, designed primarily for
use on the Web and known as WOFF (Web Open Font Format). WOFF
provides lightweight, easy-to-implement compression of font
data, suitable for use with CSS style sheets. WOFF is a
container format or "wrapper" for font data in already-existing
formats rather than an actual font format in its own right.
Comments are welcome through 14 December. Learn more about the
Fonts Activity.

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?
