Continuing Global Conversation on Key Issues in Web & TV Convergence:
Third Workshop on Web and TV Scheduled
08 July 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9146
W3C announces the third in a series of Workshops on the Web and
TV. The Third W3C Web and TV Workshop takes place in Hollywood,
California, USA, 19-20 September 2011, hosted by Comcast Cable.
In the previous two workshops (Tokyo Workshop and Berlin
Workshop), participants identified opportunities for
convergence of Web and TV infrastructure and began identifying
technical challenges. This third workshop will continue these
efforts, with a particular focus on the needs of content
creators and distributors. Additionally, there will be an
opportunity to discuss and debate some of the initial
requirements arising in the Web and TV Interest Group that
began its work in February 2011. Anyone may participate in this
Workshop; a Position Paper is required from a presenter while a
Statement of Interest is required from an observer. Both
Position Papers and Statements of Interest are due 15 August
2011. Please see the Call for Participation for further
details.

http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9147
This is a public call for prior art on patent Application No.
11/432,295 and on Patent 7,743,336. The W3C seeks information

content distribution systems before April 2006 that offer a
viable solution that may apply to the use of access requests
policy in Widgets. People who wish to provide feedback should
refer to the call for prior art for more information. On 13
November 2009, pursuant to its rights under W3C's Patent
Policy, Apple, Inc. disclosed US Published Patent Application
No. 11/432,295 and US Published Patent Application 11/409,276
and claimed that it applies to the Web Applications WG's
"Widget Access Request Policy specification." Apple excluded
all claims from the W3C Royalty-Free License commitment of the
W3C Patent Policy given by Participants of the Web Applications
Working Group. In accordance with the exception procedures of
the Patent Policy, W3C launched a Patent Advisory Group (PAG)
to determine possible solutions. The PAG has advised W3C to

First Draft of XML Encryption 1.1 CipherReference Processing using
2.0 Transforms Specification Published
07 July 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9144
The XML Security Working Group has published a First Public
Working Draft of " "XML Encryption 1.1 CipherReference
Processing using 2.0 Transforms" " specification. This
specification brings the benefits of the XML Signature 2.0
transform processing model to XML Encryption, reducing the
attack surface and simplifying the processing model. Related
2.0 specifications are in Last Call, including XML Signature
2.0, Canonical XML 2.0 and the XML Signature Streaming Profile
of XPath 1.0. The XML Security WG also has 1.1 specifications
in Candidate Recommendation, including XML Signature 1.1, XML
Encryption 1.1, XML Signature Properties, and XML Security
Generic Hybrid Ciphers.

Ontology for Media Resources 1.0 is a W3C Candidate Recommendation
07 July 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9143
The Media Annotations Working Group invites implementation of
the Candidate Recommendation "Ontology for Media Resources 1.0"
. This document defines the Ontology for Media Resources 1.0.
The term "Ontology" is used in its broadest possible
definition: a core vocabulary. The intent of this vocabulary is
to bridge the different descriptions of media resources, and
provide a core set of descriptive properties. This document
defines a core set of metadata properties for media resources,
along with their mappings to elements from a set of existing
metadata formats. Besides that, the document presents a
Semantic Web compatible implementation of the abstract ontology
using RDF/OWL. The document is mostly targeted towards media
resources available on the Web, as opposed to media resources
that are only accessible in local repositories. See the group's
Media Ontology Test Suite. Learn more about the Video in the
Web Activity.

http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9141
The Voice Browser Working Group has published a W3C
Recommendation of "Voice Browser Call Control: CCXML Version
1.0." The Call Control Extensible Markup Language (CCXML)

Working with Time Zones Published as an updated Working Group Note
05 July 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9140
The Internationalization (I18N) Core Working Group has
published an updated version of "Working with Time Zones" as a
Working Group Note. Date and time values can be complex and the
relationship between computer and human timekeeping systems can
lead to problems. The working group has updated this version to
contain more comprehensive guidelines and best practices for
working with time and time zones in applications and document
formats. Use cases are provided to help choose an approach that
ensures that geographically distributed applications work well.
This document also aims to provide a basic understanding and
vocabulary for talking about time and time handling in
software. Learn more about the Internationalization Activity.

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS3 Ruby Module." "Ruby" are short runs of
text alongside the base text, typically used in East Asian

Incubator Group Report: Semantic Sensor Network XG Final Report
28 June 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9134
The W3C Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group has published
their final report. As networks of sensors become more
commonplace there is a greater need for their management and
querying to be assisted by standards and computer reasoning.
Building on the OGC's Sensor Web Enablement services-based
architecture and standards, including four description
languages, the group produced ontologies for describing sensors
and extended a language to support semantic annotations. The
report lists use-cases and reviews existing ontologies leading
to the selection of the SSN ontology, analyzes examples and
semantic markup as well as mapping to existing standards. The
report also includes a list of directions for future work in
the context of Linked Sensor Data, or Semantic Internet of
Things for work at the border of Internet of Things and
Internet of Service. The group plans to create a W3C Community
Group to focus on the maintenance and extension of the SSN
Ontology.

on the W3C standards track.
