Incubator Group Report: A Standards-based, Open and Privacy-aware
Social Web
06 December 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8969
The W3C Social Web Incubator Group has published their final
report. The mission of the Incubator Group was to understand
the systems and technologies that permit the description and
identification of people, groups, organizations, and
user-generated content in extensible and privacy-respecting
ways. The report describes a framework for understanding the
Social Web and many relevant standards (from both within and
outside the W3C), and concludes by proposing a strategy for
making the Social Web a "first-class citizen" of the Web. The
report recommends that the W3C should offer resources to start
a Federated Social Web Incubator Group, and that the W3C host a
workshop to investigate identity in the browser with existing
communities in order to determine how digital identity fits
into the One Web platform. This publication is part of the
Incubator Activity, a forum where W3C Members can innovate and
experiment. This work is not on the W3C standards track.

http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8966
W3C announces the results of this year's Technical Architecture
Group (TAG) election process: Peter Linss (HP), Ashok Malhotra
(Oracle), and Larry Masinter (Adobe) all begin 2-year terms on
1 February 2011. The mission of the TAG is to build consensus
around principles of Web architecture and to interpret and
clarify these principles when necessary, to resolve issues
involving general Web architecture brought to the TAG, and to
help coordinate cross-technology architecture developments
inside and outside W3C. Peter, Ashok, and Larry join fellow TAG
members Dan Appelquist (Vodafone), Jonathan Rees (Creative
Commons), and Henry Thompson (U. of Edinburgh). Noah Mendelsohn
(unaffiliated) and Tim Berners-Lee co-Chair the TAG. There
remains one seat for appointment by the Director. Learn more
about the TAG.

Last Call: XML Encryption, Signature 1.1
30 November 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8965
The XML Security Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Drafts of "XML Encryption Syntax and Processing Version
1.1" and "XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version 1.1."
The former specifies a process for encrypting data and
representing the result in XML. The latter specifies XML
digital signature processing rules and syntax. XML Signatures
provide integrity, message authentication, and/or signer
authentication services for data of any type, whether located
within the XML that includes the signature or elsewhere. See
the explanation of "XML encryption changes" and "XML signature
changes." Comments are welcome through 22 December. Learn more
about the Security Activity.

Last Call: XML Processor Profiles
30 November 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8964
The XML Processing Model Working Group has published a Last
Call 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. Comments are welcome through 14
January. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
Activity.

Workshops
* 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?
* 2011-02-08 ( 8 FEB) – 2011-02-09 ( 9 FEB)
W3C Web and TV Workshop

technology are starting to be deployed in browsers, and the
Web community is enthusiastic about host of new features
such as location-based services. W3C is organizing this
workshop to bring the television industry and other
producers of consumer electronics into the discussion.
Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to
share their own perspectives, requirements, and ideas to
