W3C Community Convenes for Technical Plenary 2011
27 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9246
[] Next week, the W3C community meets in Santa Clara,
California for TPAC 2011, W3C's annual face-to-face gathering
to coordinate both technical and strategic directions for the
organization. We anticipate more than 350 people will
participate in Working Group meetings, an Advisory Committee
meeting, and a Plenary Day organized this year as a
participant-driven camp. In addition to two plenary sessions
(on Web and Television, and Web Content Interoperability),
participants will discuss a variety of breakout topics.
Although participation in TPAC is limited to those already in
W3C groups, the TPAC proceedings are public and will be made
available shortly after the meeting. Follow the meeting on
social networking sites with tag #tpac.

First Draft of WebRTC 1.0: Real-time Communication Between Browsers
Published
27 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9245
The Web Real-Time Communications Working Group has published he
First Public Working Draft of "WebRTC 1.0: Real-time
Communication Between Browsers." This document defines a set
of APIs that enable video conferencing from within an Open Web
Platform application. These APIs allow local media, including
audio and video, to be requested from a platform, media to be
sent over the network to another browser or device implementing
the appropriate set of real-time protocols, and media received
from another browser or device to be processed and displayed
locally. This specification is being developed in conjunction
with a protocol specification developed by the IETF RTCWEB
group. Learn more about the Ubiquitous Web Applications
Activity.

Last Call: Touch Events version 1
27 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9244
The Web Events Working Group has published a Last Call Working
Draft of "Touch Events version 1." User Agents that run on
terminals which provide touch input to use web applications
typically use interpreted mouse events to allow users to access
interactive web applications. However, these interpreted
events, being normalized data based on the physical touch
input, may not deliver the intended user experience. Native
applications are capable of handling both cases with the
provided system APIs. The Touch Events specification now
provides a solution for Open Web Platform applications: the
ability to directly handle touch events, and multiple touch
points for enabled devices. Comments are welcome through 17
November. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Incubator Group Report: Unified Service Description Language XG Final
Report
27 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9242
The W3C Unified Service Description Language Incubator Group
has published their final report. The mission of the Unified
Service Description Language Incubator Group was to work on the
already existing proposal for USDL in three directions:
investigate similar approaches and relate them to USDL, reshape
the specification to align it with W3C and feedback that was
collected, and prove practical relevance by creating reference
test cases by various partners. During the XG's lifetime, the
group shifted the focus away from working on the language
itself in order to better concentrate on use cases and
adoption. The Incubator Group Report therefore contains a
comprehensive overview and assessment of other languages,
specifications and approaches that were considered to be
related to USDL. The report also contains a description of our
reference test cases and their implementations, a list of
issues and ideas of improvement for the next version of USDL,
and a statement from some partners about USDL. It concludes
with the recommendation to follow up on the USDL specification
in form of a Working Group, among others.

Incubator Group Report: Object Memory Modeling XG Final Report
26 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9241
The W3C Object Memory Modeling Incubator Group has published
their final report. This report summarizes the findings of the
Object Memory Modeling Incubator Group. An XML-based object
memory format is introduced, which allows for modeling of
events or other information about individual physical
artifacts, and which is designed to support data storage of
those logs on so-called "smart labels" attached to the physical
artifact. The group makes several recommendations concerning
the future evolution of the object memory format at the W3C;
these address connections to provenance modeling, the embedding
of object memories in web pages, and potential benefits of an
object memory API.

Last Call: Web Storage
25 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9240
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "Web Storage." This specification introduces
two related mechanisms, similar to HTTP session cookies, for
storing structured data on the client side. The first is
designed for scenarios where the user is carrying out a single
transaction, but could be carrying out multiple transactions in
different windows at the same time. Cookies don't really handle
this case well. To address this, this specification introduces
the sessionStorage IDL attribute. Comments are welcome through
15 November. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Incubator Group Report: Library Linked Data XG Final Report
25 October 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9239
The W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group has published their
final report. In the report, the group characterized the
current state of library data management, outlined the
potential benefits of publishing library data as Linked Data,
and formulated next-step recommendations for library standards
bodies, data and systems designers, librarians and archivists,
and library leaders. The report is supplemented by two more
detailed reports. "Use Cases" describes library applications
which showcase the benefits of adopting Semantic Web standards
and Linked Data principles to publish library assets such as
bibliographic data, concept schemes, and authority files.
"Datasets, Value Vocabularies, and Metadata Element Sets"
provides a snapshot of key resources available for creating
library Linked Data today. The group moved several documents to
the W3C's Semantic Web wiki and expects the discussion to
continue on the public-lld mailing list, both of which are open
to participation by all interested members of the public.

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.

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.
