Last Call: API for Media Resources 1.0

   12 July 2011 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9151

   The Media Annotations Working Group has published a Last Call
   Working Draft of "API for Media Resources 1.0." This
   specification defines an API to access metadata information
   related to media resources on the Web. The overall purpose is
   to provide developers with convenient access to metadata
   information stored in different metadata formats. The API
   provides means to access the set of metadata properties defined
   in the Ontology for Media Resources 1.0 specification. Comments
   are welcome through 07 August. Learn more about the Video in
   the Web Activity.

CSS Drafts Updated: CSSOM; CSS Image Values and Replaced Content
Module Level 3

   12 July 2011 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9150

   The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published
   Working Drafts of "CSSOM" and "CSS Image Values and Replaced
   Content Module Level 3." CSSOM defines APIs (including generic
   parsing and serialization rules) for Media Queries, Selectors,
   and CSS itself. The latter specification defines the syntax for
   image values in CSS. It also defines properties used to control
   the interaction of replaced content and the CSS layout
   algorithms. These properties can affect the used image
   resolution for bitmaps, the replaced object's orientation, and
   whether and how to preserve the object's aspect ratio. Learn
   more about the Style Activity.

Last Call: Web IDL

   12 July 2011 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9149

   The Web Applications Working Group has published a Last Call
   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 in this document. It is expected
   that this document acts as a guide to implementors of
   already-published specifications, and that newly published
   specifications reference this document to ensure conforming
   implementations of interfaces are interoperable. Comments are
   welcome through 23 August. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
   Activity.
