W3C Launches Patent Advisory Group for Touch Events Specification
30 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9339
In accordance with the W3C Patent Policy, W3C has launched a
Patent Advisory Group (PAG) in response to disclosures related
to the "Touch Events version 1" Specification. The Web Events
Working Group develops this specification. W3C launches a PAG
to resolve issues in the event a patent has been disclosed that
may be essential, but is not available under the W3C
Royalty-Free licensing requirements. Public comments regarding
these disclosures may be sent to public-te-pag@w3.org (with
public archive). Learn more about Patent Advisory Groups.

Workshop Report: Data and Services Integration
26 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9336
W3C today published the report of the Workshop on Data and
Services Integration, hosted on 20-21 October 2011 by MITRE in
Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. This workshop provided a way for
the community to meet and discuss some of the challenges of
integration of heterogeneous data and services. With the
emergence of the Web, the need for reusing data and services
has become even stronger as the number of available services
has grown. Different services stacks now exist from Web
Services to Cloud-based services. One goal of this workshop was
to figure out the needs in the domain of integration that would
benefit from standardization, or where discussion via Community
or Business Groups could gather a critical mass.
http://www.w3.org/2011/10/integration-workshop/report
http://www.w3.org/2011/10/integration-workshop
The participants came to the conclusion that solutions to the
data integration issues can be the result of better integration
of tools helping going cross-stacks. They also discussed how to
architect RESTful services in the enterprise, with a plan to
create a group to work on Linked Data Patterns, specifically
REST-based patterns on RDF and other formats.
Incubator Group Report: Media Analysis Management Interface
25 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9335
The Media Analysis Management Interface Incubator Group
published its final report, Media Analysis Management Interface
XG Final Report. The Media Analysis Management Interface (MAMI)
enables the understanding of the real world at a low cost by
using analysis engines such as video image processing engines,
sensor data analysis engines, and so on. It also enables
various services to be easily provided, such as physical
security, environmental load reduction, and intelligent
accessibility services. The MAMI Incubator Group described the
requirements of the MAMI and six use cases in three fields:
energy saving, video surveillance, and operational improvement.
The Incubator Group expects to collaborate with other W3C
working groups, in particular the Multimodal Interaction
Working Group.

is not on the W3C standards track.

Group Note: MMI interoperability test report
24 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9334
The Multimodal Interaction Working Group has published a Group
Note: "MMI interoperability test report." This document
describes an interoperability test, executed by various members
of the Multimodal Interaction Working Group, to demonstrate
interoperability of multimodal components which are
implementing the "Multimodal Architecture and Interfaces"
specification. Learn more about the Multimodal Interaction
Activity.

Last Call: XML processor profiles
24 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9333
The XML Processing Model Working Group has published a Last
Call Working Draft of "XML processor profiles." This
specification defines several XML processor profiles, each of
which defines how any given XML document should be processed,
both operationally and in terms of what information must be
made available to applications. It is intended as a resource
for other specifications, which can by a single normative
reference establish precisely what input processing they
require as well as what information they require. Comments are
welcome through 29 February. Learn more about the Extensible
Markup Language (XML) Activity.

W3C Invites Implementer Feedback on XML Security 2.0 Specifications
24 January 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9332
The XML Security Working Group invites implementation of three
Candidate Recommendations: "XML Signature Syntax and Processing
Version 2.0," "Canonical XML Version 2.0," and "XML Signature
Streaming Profile of XPath 1.0." XML Signatures provide
integrity, message authentication, and/or signer authentication
services for data of any type, whether located within the XML
that includes the signature or elsewhere. The XML Security 2.0
specifications are designed to update the XML Signature and
Canonical XML specifications to improve performance, streaming
support, robustness, and reduced attack surface.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-xmldsig-xpath-20120124/
The Working Group has also published a W3C Note: "XML Security
RELAX NG Schemas," a document that provides RELAX NG schemas
corresponding to the normative XSD schemas for XML Signature
1.1, XML Encryption 1.1, and related specifications.
http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-xmlsec-rngschema-20110303/
To address patent disclosures related to the XML Signature 1.1
and XML Encryption 1.1 specifications, W3C has chartered a
Patent Advisory Group. Concerns related to XML Signature 1.1
may also apply to XML Signature 2.0.
