Media Queries and 'view mode' are W3C Recommendations

   19 June 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9479

   The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
   W3C Recommendation of "Media Queries," which lets designers
   create effective Web experiences by adjusting styles according
   to device capabilities (such as screen dimensions or color
   support) or state (such as device orientation).

   http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/REC-css3-mediaqueries-20120619/

   W3C also published today a W3C Recommendation of "The
   'view-mode' Media Feature," from the Web Applications Working
   Group. W3C had delayed its publication until completion of the
   Media Queries Recommendation due to dependencies between the
   two. The "view-mode" specification extends media query design
   capabilities to Web application states (e.g., occupies the
   entire screen or is minimized).

PROV-AQ: Provenance Access and Query Draft Published

   19 June 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9478

   The Provenance Working Group has published a Working Draft of
   "PROV-AQ: Provenance Access and Query." This document
   specifies how to use standard Web protocols, including HTTP, to
   obtain information about the provenance of resources on the
   Web. It describes both simple access mechanisms for locating
   provenance information associated with web pages or resources,
   and provenance query services for more complex deployments.
   This is part of the larger W3C Prov provenance framework. Learn
   more about the Semantic Web Activity.

       All Signs Point to the Web: W3C Workshop on Web-Based
       Signage
       http://www.w3.org/2012/06/signage/cfp
       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.
     * 2012-06-19 (19 JUN) – 2012-06-20 (20 JUN)
       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?
