Call for Participation in The Graphical Web 2012
20 April 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9426
Developers and designers are excited by the ability to use the
graphical features of all modern browsers - Canvas, SVG, CSS,
WebGL, and HTML5 video and audio. W3C is proud to support The
Graphical Web 2012, which is both the first in a new
international conference series on Open Web Graphics and the
10th conference on Scalable Vector Graphics, 11-14 September
2012. This year, the conference returns to Switzerland and the
site of the first SVG Open. ETH Zürich will be hosting the
conference at its Hönggerberg campus. Members of the W3C SVG
Working Group, including W3C Team members Chris Lilley and Doug
Schepers, will be attending the conference. The SVG Working
Group will also brief attendees on recent developments around
the SVG specification, including SVG2 and integration with CSS3
and HTML5. The conference includes a day of instructional
courses. The deadline for presentation abstracts and course
outlines is 7 May. Learn more about the W3C Graphics Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of Web IDL
19 April 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9425
The Web Applications Working Group invites implementation of
the Candidate Recommendation of "Web IDL." This document
defines an interface definition language, Web IDL, that can be
used to describe interfaces that are intended to be implemented
in web browsers. Web IDL is an IDL variant with a number of
features that allow the behavior of common script objects in
the web platform to be specified more readily. How interfaces
described with Web IDL correspond to constructs within
ECMAScript execution environments is also detailed in this
document. It is expected that this document acts as a guide to
implementors of already-published specifications, and that
newly published specifications reference this document to
ensure conforming implementations of interfaces are
interoperable. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Incubator Group Report: Towards a Semantic Decision Representation
Format
17 April 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9421
The W3C Decisions and Decision-Making Incubator Group has
published their final report. The mission of the Decisions and
Decision-Making Incubator Group, part of the Incubator
Activity, was to determine the requirements, use cases, and a
representation of decisions and decision-making in a
collaborative and networked environment suitable for leading to
a potential standard for decision exchange, shared situational
awareness, and measurement of the speed, effectiveness, and
human factors of decision-making. The Incubator Group explored
the question over the last year, including use cases,
requirements and formats for representing decisions in a
machine-understandable format. A standardized decision format
would allow the decisions that occur everyday to be managed,
archived, shared, and tracked. Two key benefits include the
ability to expand and advance the meaningful use of web linked
data, as well as the ability to tie-in domain knowledge to
provide decision context. The final report captures the major
accomplishments and results of the incubator group and ends
with a recommendation to transition into a W3C Working Group
for the establishment of a Decision Markup Language
(DecisionML).

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module
Level 3
17 April 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9423
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group invites
implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of "CSS
Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3." CSS is a language for
describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML
and XML) on screen, on paper, in speech, etc. This draft
contains the features of CSS level 3 relating to borders and
backgrounds. It includes and extends the functionality of CSS
level 2, which builds on CSS level 1. The main extensions
compared to level 2 are borders consisting of images, boxes
with multiple backgrounds, boxes with rounded corners and boxes
with shadows. Learn more about the Style Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Image Values and Replaced Content
Module Level 3
17 April 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9422
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group invites
implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of "CSS Image
Values and Replaced Content Module Level 3." CSS is a language
for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as
HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in speech, etc. This module
contains the features of CSS level 3 relating to the <image>
type and replaced elements. It includes and extends the
functionality of CSS level 2, which builds on CSS level 1. The
main extensions compared to level 2 are the generalization of
the <url> type to the <image> type, several additions to the
‘<image>’ type, a generic sizing algorithm for images and other
replaced content in CSS, and several properties controlling the
interaction of replaced elements and CSS's layout models. Learn
more about the Style Activity.

Two File API Working Drafts Published
17 April 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9420
The Web Applications Working Group has published two Working
Draft today:
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/
* File API: Writer. This specification defines an API for
writing to files from web applications. This API is
designed to be used in conjunction with, and depends on
definitions in, other APIs and elements on the web
platform. Most relevant among these are File API and Web
Workers.
* File API: Directories and System. This specification
defines an API to navigate file system hierarchies, and
defines a means by which a user agent may expose sandboxed
sections of a user's local filesystem to web applications.
It builds on File Writer API, which in turn built on File
API, each adding a different kind of functionality.

Hosted by the European Commission
For many years, W3C has been a keen promoter of Open Data,
fostering a culture in which public administrations make
their data available, ideally in machine-processable
formats. Many governments have embraced the idea with
enthusiasm, setting up national data portals. As part of
the FP7-funded Crossover Project, W3C and the European
Commission are running a Workshop in June, just ahead of
the Digital Agenda Summit, to ask a simple question: what
is all the 'new' government open data being used for?
