W3C Invites Implementations of WOFF File Format 1.0
04 August 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9165
The WebFonts Working Group invites implementation of the
Candidate Recommendation of "WOFF File Format 1.0." This
document specifies the WOFF font packaging format. This format
was designed to provide lightweight, easy-to-implement
compression of font data, suitable for use with CSS @font-face
rules. Any properly licensed TrueType/OpenType/Open Font Format
file can be packaged in WOFF format for Web use. User agents
decode the WOFF file to restore the font data such that it will
display identically to the input font. Learn more about the
Fonts Activity.

W3C Organizes Workshop on Data and Services Integration
05 August 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9167
Integration of heterogeneous data and services has always been
a concern for creators and managers of services. With the
emergence of the Web, the need for reusing data and services
has become even stronger as the number of available services
has grown. Different services stacks now exist from Web
Services to Cloud-based services. On 20-21 October, W3C is
organizing a Workshop on Data and Services Integration hosted
by MITRE in Bedford, MA, USA to bring together people with
different ways of looking at the issues left unsolved by the
existing stacks, to investigate the possible paths to help
bridging services built using different paradigms, and to
identify points where standardization would help integration of
services and data. The Workshop is open to all at no cost,
space permitting. Participants must submit a position paper by
9 September 2011. Learn more about the Workshop.

http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9164
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSSOM View Module." The APIs introduced by
this specification provide authors with a way to inspect and
manipulate the visual view of a document. This includes getting
the position of element layout boxes, obtaining the width of
the viewport through script, and also scrolling an element.

W3C Invites Implementations of W3C XML Schema Definition Language 1.1
(Parts 1 and 2)
22 July 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9160
The XML Schema Working Group invites implementation of the
Candidate Recommendation s "XML Schema Definition Language
(XSD) 1.1 Part 1: Structures" and "XML Schema Definition
Language (XSD) 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes." The first document
specifies the XML Schema Definition Language, which offers
facilities for describing the structure and constraining the
contents of XML documents, including those which exploit the
XML Namespace facility. The schema language, which is itself
represented in an XML vocabulary and uses namespaces,
substantially reconstructs and considerably extends the
capabilities found in XML document type definitions (DTDs).
This specification depends on XML Schema Definition Language
1.1 Part 2: Datatypes, which defines facilities for defining
datatypes to be used in XML Schemas as well as other XML
specifications. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language
(XML) Activity.

also defines how to make authoring tools accessible so that
people with disabilities can use them. Comments are welcome
through 15 September 2011. Please see the invitation to review
the ATAG 2.0 Working Draft for more information. Learn more

Internationalization Checker Updated
19 July 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9153
The i18n checker is a free service from W3C that provides
information about internationalization-related aspects of your
HTML page and advice on creating markup that supports the
multilingual Web. This latest release uses a new user interface
and redesigned source code. It also adds a number of new tests,
a file upload facility, and support for HTML5. This is still a
'pre-final' release and development continues. There are
already plans to add further tests and features, to translate
the user interface, to add support for XHTML5 and polyglot
documents, to integrate with the W3C Unicorn checker, and to
add various other features. At this stage we are particularly
interested in receiving user feedback. Learn more about Web
Internationalization.
