W3C Launches Model-Based User Interfaces Working Group
17 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9230
W3C announces today the new Model-Based User Interfaces (MBUI)
Working Group. The mission of the Model-Based UI Working Group
is to develop standards as a basis for interoperability across
authoring tools for context aware user interfaces for Web-based
interactive applications. Application developers face
increasing difficulties due to wide variations in device
capabilities, in the details of the standards they support, the
need to support assistive technologies for accessibility, the
demand for richer user interfaces, the suites of programming
languages and libraries, and the need to contain costs and meet
challenging schedules during the development and maintenance of
applications. The Model-Based UI Working Group will start from
extensive experience with model-based user interface design
solutions, and will provide a strong basis for interoperable
authoring tools for interactive application front ends, with
HTML5 as a key delivery platform. Learn more about the
Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.

W3C Launches Web Testing Activity
13 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9229
W3C announces the launch of a new Web Testing Activity. For
years, W3C has been testing technologies independently in a
variety of Working Groups. Each specification follows its own
methods for testing the underlying technology and there has
been minimal coordination between Working Groups on testing
methods. Technologies such as HTML, CSS, and APIs must be
tested in the same user agents, at times in combination.
Therefore, as the number of technologies and the number of
devices using them increase, it has become vital to quality on
the Web that W3C take a broader view of testing. To this end,
W3C has launched two groups. The Browser Testing and Tools
Working Group will produce technologies for use in testing,
debugging, and troubleshooting of Web applications running in
Web browsers. The Web Testing Interest Group will develop and
deploy testing mechanisms and collateral materials for testing
of Web technologies across different devices (desktops, mobile,
TV, etc.).

BAD to Good: Demo shows web accessibility barriers fixed

http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9228
The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Education and Outreach
Working Group (EOWG) has updated the Before and After
Demonstration (BAD). BAD shows an inaccessible website and a
retrofitted version of the same website with the accessibility
barriers fixed. Read the call for review e-mail, learn about
Accessibility, and visit the WAI home page.

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)
W3C Social Business Jam
http://www.w3.org/2011/socialbusiness-jam/
Online
Supported by IBM
Join the Jam! Participation is free and open to all.
Participation in this Jam is intended for individuals and
professionals working in businesses or the social business
space. If you are passionate about leveraging social
capabilities to improve business results or if you want to
discuss your ideas on how social technologies offer
business value beyond traditional social media approaches,
then this Jam is the right place for you. The meeting
should produce a better understanding of how businesses are
using social technologies and the challenges they face
integrating the technologies into their existing
environments.
* 2011-11-15 (15 NOV) – 2011-11-16 (16 NOV)

latest news on HTML5 and the open web platform, and your
place in it, save the date for W3C's first developer
conference.

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.
