Last Call: Five SPARQL 1.1 Drafts
05 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9312
The SPARQL Working Group has published (second) Last Call
Working Drafts of the following SPARQL 1.1 documents. SPARQL is
a set of specfications related to querying a web of linked
data. Today's publications
http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Main_Page
* SPARQL 1.1 Update defines an update language for RDF
graphs.
* SPARQL 1.1 Service Description defines a vocabulary and
discovery mechanism for describing the capabilities of a
SPARQL endpoint.
* SPARQL 1.1 Query Language adds support for aggregates,
subqueries, projected expressions, and negation to the
SPARQL query language.
* SPARQL 1.1 Protocol describes a means for conveying SPARQL
queries and updates to a SPARQL processing service and
returning the results via HTTP to the entity that requested
them.
* SPARQL 1.1 Entailment Regimes defines conditions under
which SPARQL queries can be used with entailment regimes
such as RDF, RDF Schema, OWL, or RIF.

http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9311
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "DOM4." DOM4 defines the event and document model the
Web platform uses. The DOM is a language- and platform-neutral
interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically
access and update the content and structure of documents. Learn

Last Call for Two XML Encryption 1.1 Specifications; Related Drafts
Published
05 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9310
The XML Security Working Group has published a new Last Call
Working Draft of " "XML Encryption 1.1" " to solicit review of
changes since the previous Candidate Recommendation. The
primary changes are to (1) make the AES-128-GCM algorithm
mandatory to implement, to address newly publicized
chosen-ciphertext attacks against the CBC class of algorithms,
(2) add new security considerations related to
chosen-ciphertext attacks, timing attacks, CBC block encryption
vulnerabilities, and the insecure use of error messages, (3)
add a new algorithm for the RSA-OAEP key transport that does
not require SHA-1 with the mask generation function, enabling
use of various hash MGF combinations.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-xmlenc-core1-20120105/
The XML Security WG is also soliciting review of the Last Call
working draft of " "XML Encryption 1.1 CipherReference
Processing using 2.0 Transforms" ". This specification brings
the simplification benefits of the ongoing XML Security 2.0
effort to XML Encryption CipherReference transform processing.
Feedback on both of these Last Call drafts is requested by 16
February 2012.
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-xmlenc-transform20-20120105/
The Working Group also published today First Public Working
Drafts of " "Test Cases for XML Encryption 1.1" " and " "Test
Cases for Canonical XML 2.0" " and encourages community
participation in developing further tests and performing
testing. In addition, they updated " "XML Security Algorithm
Cross-Reference" " to reflect new algorithm definitions in XML
Encryption 1.1. Learn more about the W3C Security Activity.
