W3C Invites Implementations of Progress Events
26 September 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9211
The Web Applications Working Group invites implementation of
the Candidate Recommendation of "Progress Events." The
Progress Events specification defines an event interface that
can be used for measuring progress; e.g., HTTP entity body
transfers. This specification is primarily meant to be used by
other specifications. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9210
[] To strengthen its relations with industry and research
activities in France and Europe, W3C announces today the
opening of a W3C Office in France, hosted by Inria (French
National Computer Science Research Institute). To mark the
launch, the Office is organizing a session on Open Data at the
Open World Forum on 22 September in Paris, in cooperation with
Inria and Paris City Hall. "Inria has a longstanding commitment
to the development of free software and open standards," said
Prof. Michel Cosnard, Inria Chairman and CEO. "We have
supported W3C's mission since the inception of the Consortium
in 1994, notably by hosting W3C's European branch". Read the
full press release and learn more about the W3C Offices.

Digital Ink Standard Enhances Device Integration
20 September 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9209
W3C announced today a new standard for the exchange of "digital
ink" on the Web. The "Ink Markup Language (InkML)
Recommendation" can be used to store and exchange the output of
an electronic pen or stylus as well as handwriting, gestures,
sketches, music, and other notations. InkML is part of W3C's
ongoing efforts to build One Web available from any device. A
host of new applications are now possible thanks to this open
standard, such as: pen-based text messaging; handwritten
annotation of documents, photos, or other media; collaborative
white boards; archiving of hand-written notes; and more
efficient approaches to filling out forms. Read the press
release and testimonials and learn more about the Web of
Devices.

Last Call: R2RML and A Direct Mapping of Relational Data to RDF
20 September 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9208
The RDB2RDF Working Group has published two Last Call Working
Drafts for bringing relational database information to the
Semantic Web: "R2RML: RDB to RDF Mapping Language" and "A
Direct Mapping of Relational Data to RDF ." The former
describes R2RML, a language for expressing customized mappings
from relational databases to RDF datasets. Such mappings
provide the ability to view existing relational data in the RDF
data model, expressed in a structure and target vocabulary of
the mapping author's choice. The latter document defines a
direct mapping from relational data to RDF. Comments are
welcome through 1 November. Learn more about the Semantic Web
Activity.

Workshops
* 2011-10-20 (20 OCT) – 2011-10-21 (21 OCT)
W3C Workshop on Data and Services Integration
http://www.w3.org/2011/10/integration-workshop/
Bedford, MA, USA
Hosted by MITRE
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.
The goal of this Workshop is 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.
* 2011-11-05 ( 5 NOV)
W3C Workshop on The Future of Off-line Web Applications
http://www.w3.org/2011/web-apps-ws/
Redwood City, CA, USA
Hosted by Vodafone
Off-line use of Web applications is one of the key missing
elements from the Web platform that application developers
require. The current fragmentation in this solution space
is creating confusion among would-be WebApp developers and
organizations who would otherwise invest in the Open Web
Platform. This workshop will examine requirements that can
be derived from the implementor and developer experiences,
with the goal of informing future standardization efforts.
