W3C Welcomes Google and Adobe as First Organization Sponsors
19 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9234
W3C introduced a W3C Organization Sponsor program earlier this
year to enhance its capacity to support the deployment of Web
standards. W3C announces today the first W3C Organization
Sponsors: Google (Gold) and Adobe (Silver). W3C thanks both
organizations for their generosity. W3C will use the donations
to support training, documentation, tools, and outreach to Web
professionals. "W3C has been a cornerstone component of the
World Wide Web's evolution and Google is pleased to be able to
support and participate in its processes," said Vint Cerf,
Chief Internet Evangelist at Google and an Internet pioneer.
"W3C brings many perspectives together from around the world to
move the Web forward," said Kevin Lynch, Chief Technology
Officer at Adobe. "We're happy to help support this effort and
look forward to ongoing collaboration around our shared vision
in the standardization of a richer Web." Read the press release

Schedule, Speakers, and Sponsors Announced for W3Conf Developer
Conference
21 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9237
[] W3C announces today the speakers and the schedule for
W3Conf, W3C's first developer conference, in the Seattle area
on 15-16 November 2011. W3Conf will feature presentations by
renowned experts on mobile development, layout, script
libraries, graphics, security, and Web gaming, and
representatives from major browser and authoring tool vendors.
The talks will focus on technologies you can use today, with a
glimpse of the future; this is about developers, not products.
Registration is open, with early bird rates available through
31 October. W3C would like to thank Microsoft for making this
conference possible, and express our appreciation to Platinum
Sponsor ATT, and Gold Sponsors Adobe and Nokia.

Updated Drafts of Three WebApps Specifications: File API, Server-Sent
Events, HTML5 Web Messaging
20 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9236
The Web Applications Working Group updated three Working Drafts
today:
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/
* File API, which provides an API for representing file
objects in web applications, as well as programmatically
selecting them and accessing their data.
* Server-Sent Events, which defines an API for opening an
HTTP connection for receiving push notifications from a
server in the form of DOM events. The API is designed such
that it can be extended to work with other push
notification schemes such as Push SMS.
* HTML5 Web Messaging, which defines two mechanisms for
communicating between browsing contexts in HTML documents.

Group Note: Ontology of Rhetorical Blocks (ORB)
20 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9235
The Semantic Web Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group
has published a Group Note of "Ontology of Rhetorical Blocks
(ORB)." The Ontology of Rhetorical Blocks is a formalization
capturing the coarse-grained rhetorical structure of scientific
publications. This note is designed to provide a general
overview of the motivation and use-cases supporting ORB, in
addition to the actual conceptual elements, as well as,
practical examples of how to use it in conjunction with
different representation languages. Learn more about the
Semantic Web Activity.

First Draft of PROV Data Model and Abstract Syntax Notation Published
18 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9231
The Provenance Working Group has published the First Public
Working Draft of "The PROV Data Model and Abstract Syntax
Notation." PROV-DM is a core data model for provenance for
building representations of the entities, people and processes
involved in producing a piece of data or thing in the world.
PROV-DM is domain-agnostic but with well-defined extensibility
points allowing further domain-specific and
application-specific extensions to be defined. It is
accompanied by PROV-ASN, a technology-independent abstract
syntax notation, which allows serializations of PROV-DM
instances to be created for human consumption, which
facilitates its mapping to concrete syntax, and which is used
as the basis for a formal semantics. Learn more about the
Semantic Web Activity.

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.

Workshops
* 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

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.

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.
