W3C Community Groups Growing Source of Web Innovation
09 May 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9445
[] W3C announced today that eight months after the launch of
Community Groups to speed Web innovation, more than 1200 people
are participating in 80 groups with wide-ranging interests,
including mobile profiles, Web games, and big data. "We wanted
to encourage richer and more diverse conversations about Web
technology at W3C, and we are off to a great start," said Jeff
Jaffe, W3C CEO. "A number of design choices (such as the
permissive copyright license) have made this an appealing work
environment to important stakeholders. The program is young but
promising, and will continue to improve as we learn from our
community."

The W3C Membership, which convenes next week at its semi-annual
meeting, plays a preeminent role both in Community Groups and
in turning innovations into interoperable, Royalty-Free Web
standards through an open consensus process. Open Web Platform
traction has resulted in more than 80 organizations becoming
W3C Members in the past year. Read the full press release and
testimonials from some new W3C Members and learn more about W3C
Community and Business Groups.

W3C Invites Implementations of Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML)
1.0
10 May 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9449
The Multimodal Interaction Working Group. has published a
Candidate Recommendation of "Emotion Markup Language
(EmotionML) 1.0." As the web is becoming ubiquitous,
interactive, and multimodal, technology needs to deal
increasingly with human factors, including emotions. The
specification of Emotion Markup Language 1.0 aims to strike a
balance between practical applicability and scientific
well-foundedness. The language is conceived as a "plug-in"
language suitable for use in three different areas: (1) manual
annotation of data; (2) automatic recognition of
emotion-related states from user behavior; and (3) generation
of emotion-related system behavior.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-emotionml-20120510/
The group also published "Vocabularies for EmotionML," a
Working Group Note.

Call for Review: Geolocation API Specification Proposed
Recommendation Published
10 May 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9450
The Geolocation Working Group has published a Proposed
Recommendation of "Geolocation API Specification." This
specification defines an API that provides scripted access to
geographical location information associated with the hosting
device. Comments are welcome through 10 June. Learn more about
the Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.

W3C Launches Linked Data Platform Working Group
09 May 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9446
[] Today W3C launched the new Linked Data Platform (LDP)
Working Group to promote the use of linked data on the Web. Per
its charter, the group will explain how to use a core set of
services and technologies to build powerful applications
capable of integrating public data, secured enterprise data,
and personal data. The platform will be based on proven Web
technologies including HTTP for transport, and RDF and other
Semantic Web standards for data integration and reuse. The
group will produce supporting materials, such as a description
of uses cases, a list of requirements, and a test suite and/or
validation tools to help ensure interoperability and correct
implementation. Learn more about the Semantic Web.

W3C Invites Implementations of Battery Status API; Vibration API
08 May 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9444
The Device APIs Working Group invites implementation of the
Candidate Recommendations of "Battery Status API" and
"Vibration API." The first defines an API that provides
information about the battery status of the hosting device. The
second defines an API that provides access to the vibration
mechanism of the hosting device. W3C publishes a Candidate
Recommendation to indicate that the document is believed to be
stable and to encourage implementation by the developer
community. Learn more about the Ubiquitous Web Applications
Activity.

Last Call: Performance Timeline; User Timing
08 May 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9443
The Web Performance Working Group has published two Last Call
Working Drafts: "Performance Timeline" and "User Timing." The
first defines an unified interface to store and retrieve
performance metric data. The second defines an interface to
help web developers measure the performance of their
applications by giving them access to high precision
timestamps. Comments are welcome through 07 June. Learn more
about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Three RDFa Specifications are Proposed Recommendations
08 May 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9442
The RDF Web Applications Working Group has published three
Proposed Recommendations for "RDFa Core 1.1," "RDFa Lite 1.1"
and "XHTML+RDFa 1.1."
http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/PR-rdfa-core-20120508/
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/PR-rdfa-lite-20120508/
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/PR-xhtml-rdfa-20120508/
Together, these documents outline the vision for RDFa in a
variety of XML and HTML-based Web markup languages. RDFa Core
1.1 specifies the core syntax and processing rules for RDFa 1.1
and how the language is intended to be used in XML documents.
RDFa Lite 1.1 provides a simple subset of RDFa for novice web
authors. XHTML+RDFa 1.1 specifies the usage of RDFa in the
XHTML markup language. The group also published a draft of the
"RDFa 1.1 Primer" today.

Tokyo (Chiba), Japan
Hosted by NTT
The Web is at a turning point with the emergence of the
Open Web Platform, the set of technologies used to create
highly interactive experiences and social apps on a broad
range of devices. W3C has helped foster the deployment of
Web technology on mobile devices and, for the past two
years, has made the convergence of Web and TV a priority
(see the Web and TV Interest Group). We now see an
opportunity to extend the Web to a new class of devices:
very large digital displays. We invite operators of
consumer electronics companies, digital signage platforms,
advertisers, browser vendors, sign owners, and others to
participate in this discussion.

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?
