07 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9226
Registration is coming to a close for SVG Open 2011, which
takes place 17-20 October 2011. W3C joins other sponsors to
help with SVG Open 2011, the 9th international conference on
Scalable Vector Graphics, which may now be used in all modern
browsers. This year, Microsoft Corporation hosts the conference
at their New England Research and Development (NERD) Center in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. SVG Open provides an opportunity for
designers, developers and implementers to learn about SVG, and
share ideas, experiences, products, and strategies. Members of
the W3C SVG Working Group, including W3C Team member Doug
Schepers, will be attending and presenting at the conference.
The SVG Working Group will also brief attendees on recent
developments around the SVG specification, including SVG2 and
integration with CSS and HTML. The conference includes a day of
workshops. Learn more about Graphics at W3C.

explored standardization needs around games with the Web games
community. This course will last 4 weeks from 31 Oct. to 27

based multiplayer games by using open Web technologies such as
HTML5 Canvas, CSS Transitions, Timing control for script-based
animations, Web Sockets and other JavaScript APIs. The full

CSS Fonts Module Level 3 Draft Published
04 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9222
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Fonts Module Level 3." This
specification describes how font properties are specified and
how font resources are loaded dynamically. Font resources may
be local, installed on the system on which a user agent is
running, or downloadable. For local font resources descriptive
information can be obtained directly from the font resource.
For downloadable font resources (sometimes referred to as web
fonts), the descriptive information is included with the
reference to the font resource. Families of fonts typically
don't contain a single face for each possible variation of font
properties. The CSS font selection mechanism describes how to
match a given set of CSS font properties to a given font face.
Learn more about the Style 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.
* 2011-11-08 ( 8 NOV) – 2011-11-10 (10 NOV)

Linked Enterprise Data Patterns: Data-driven Applications
on the Web
http://www.w3.org/2011/09/LinkedData/
Cambridge, MA, USA
Hosted by W3C/MIT
Linked Data technology also offers a huge potential for
enterprise applications, e.g., for the integration and the
management of data within and across enterprises. The
distributed nature of Linked Data enables loose-coupling
for data sharing within and between organizations. With
Linked Data, enterprises have a unique opportunity to
cooperate in their use of shared data without the costs of
extensive coordination. Sharing a common data model (RDF)
allows us to establish design patterns for providing
dereferencable resource identifiers, migrating and cloning
data as business needs and data authorities evolve. These
will address issues such as data distribution, query
federation, access control, encryption and signature, legal
problems around the access of datasets and business models
in using open or closed linked data. Please join the W3C
Linked Data community at this workshop to air requirements,
share solutions and develop a healthy and scalable Linked
Enterprise Data infrastructure.
