First Drafts of Two Provenance Specifications Published
10 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9314
The Provenance Working Group has published two First Public
Working Drafts:
http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/
* PROV-AQ: Provenance Access and Query which specifies how to
use standard Web protocols, including HTTP, to obtain
information about the provenance of Web resources. This is
part of the larger W3C provenance framework. Provenance
refers to the sources of information, such as people and
processes, involved in producing or delivering Web
documents, data, and resources.
* PROV Model Primer which provides an intuitive introduction
and guide to the core data model for building
representations of the entities, people and processes
involved in producing a piece of data or thing in the
world.

W3C Invites Implementations of Multimodal Architecture and Interfaces
12 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9319
The Multimodal Interaction Working Group invites implementation
of the Candidate Recommendation of "Multimodal Architecture and
Interfaces." The specification describes a loosely coupled
architecture for multimodal user interfaces, which allows for
co-resident and distributed implementations, and focuses on the
role of markup and scripting, and the use of well defined
interfaces between its constituents. Learn more about the
Multimodal Interaction Activity.

Two Drafts Published by the HTML Data Task Force
12 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9318
The HTML Data Task Force of the Semantic Web Interest Group has
published two documents today:
http://www.w3.org/wiki/Html-data-tf
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/interest/
* The HTML Data Guide aims to help publishers and consumers
of HTML data. With several syntaxes (microformats,
microdata, RDFa) and vocabularies (schema.org, Dublin Core,
microformat vocabularies, etc.) to choose from, it provides
guidance on deciding what to choose in a way that meets the
publisher's or consumer's needs.
* The Microdata to RDF describes processing rules that may be
used to extract RDF from an HTML document containing
microdata.
Both documents are Working Drafts, with the goal of publishing
a final version as Interest Group Notes. Comments and feedbacks
are welcome; please send them to the public-html-data-tf@w3.org
mailing list.

Last Call: CSS Image Values and Replaced Content Module Level 3
12 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9317
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Last Call Working Draft 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. Comments are welcome
through 07 February. Learn more about the Style Activity.

W3C Advisory Committee Elects Technical Architecture Group
Participants
11 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9316
The W3C Advisory Committee has elected Robin Berjon
(unaffiliated) and re-elected Henry Thompson (U. of Edinburgh)
to the W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG). W3C Director and
TAG co-Chair Tim Berners-Lee also re-appointed Noah Mendelsohn
(unaffiliated) and Jonathan Rees (Creative Commons). They join
continuing participants Peter Linss (HP), Ashok Malhotra
(Oracle), Larry Masinter (Adobe), and Jeni Tennison
(unaffiliated). Many thanks to Dan Appelquist whose term ends
this month. The mission of the TAG is to build consensus around
principles of Web architecture and to interpret and clarify
these principles when necessary, to resolve issues involving
general Web architecture brought to the TAG, and to help
coordinate cross-technology architecture developments inside
and outside W3C. Read the TAG's December 2011 finding
Identifying Application State and learn more about their public
work plan.

Last Call: WAI-ARIA 1.0 User Agent Implementation Guide
10 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9315
The Protocols and Formats Working Group has published a Last
Call Working Draft of "WAI-ARIA 1.0 User Agent Implementation
Guide." This document describes how user agents should support
keyboard navigation and respond to roles, states, and
properties provided in Web content via WAI-ARIA. These features
are used by authors creating accessible rich internet
applications. Users often access the content using assistive
technologies that rely on platform accessibility APIs to obtain
and interact with information from the page. The WAI-ARIA User
Agent Implementation Guide defines how implementations should
expose content to accessibility APIs, helping to ensure that
this information appears in a manner consistent with author
intent. This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described
in the WAI-ARIA Overview. Comments are welcome through 17
February. Learn more about the WAI Technical Activity.
