   A deliverable of the MobiWebApp project, this sixth edition of
   the document highlights changes since February 2012, including
   new deliverables from the charter of the rechartered Web
   Applications Working Group (packaging format for Web
   applications, Quota Management, push notifications that can
   wake a sleeping app, Web Intents, fullscreen and screen-lock
   APIs), playback of protected content in HTML Working Group via
   Encrypted Media Extensions, progress on many other
   specifications, and new links to resources on mobile

RDFa Core 1.1, RDFa Lite 1.1 and XHTML+RDFa 1.1 are W3C
recommendations

   07 June 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9470

   The RDF Web Applications Working Group has published "RDFa Core
   1.1," "RDFa Lite 1.1," and "XHTML+RDFa 1.1" as W3C
   Recommendations. The group also published the "RDFa 1.1 Primer"
   as a Working Note. 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. Learn more
   about Semantic Web Activity.

RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax Draft Published

   05 June 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9468

   The RDF Working Group has published a Working Draft of "RDF 1.1
   Concepts and Abstract Syntax." This document defines the RDF
   data model. Notable "changes" since the "previous working
   draft" include the introduction of new datatypes for HTML
   fragments and language-tagged strings, a re-worked XML
   datatype, and a rewritten introduction. Going forward, the
   Working Group expects to extend the data model with support for
   multiple graphs. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.

       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.

       Using Open Data: policy modeling, citizen empowerment, data
       journalism
       http://www.w3.org/2012/06/pmod/
       Brussels, Belgium
       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?
