Ontology for Media Resources 1.0 is a W3C Recommendation
09 February 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9358
The Media Annotations Working Group has published a W3C
Recommendation of "Ontology for Media Resources 1.0." This
document defines the Ontology for Media Resources 1.0. The term
"Ontology" is used in its broadest possible definition: a core
vocabulary. The intent of this vocabulary is to bridge the
different descriptions of media resources, and provide a core
set of descriptive properties. This document defines a core set
of metadata properties for media resources, along with their
mappings to elements from a set of existing metadata formats.
Besides that, the document presents a Semantic Web compatible
implementation of the abstract ontology using RDF/OWL. The
document is mostly targeted towards media resources available
on the Web, as opposed to media resources that are only
accessible in local repositories. Learn more about the Video in
the Web Activity.

WebRTC 1.0: Real-time Communication Between Browsers Draft Published
09 February 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9357
The Web Real-Time Communications Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "WebRTC 1.0: Real-time Communication Between
Browsers." This document defines a set of APIs to represent
streaming media, including audio and video, in JavaScript, to
allow media to be sent over the network to another browser or
device implementing the appropriate set of real-time protocols,
and media received from another browser or device to be
processed and displayed locally. This specification is being
developed in conjunction with a protocol specification
developed by the IETF RTCWEB group and an API specification to
get access to local media devices developed by the Media
Capture Task Force. Learn more about the Ubiquitous Web
Applications Activity.

EMMA: Extensible MultiModal Annotation markup language Version 1.1
Draft Published
09 February 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9356
The Multimodal Interaction Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "EMMA: Extensible MultiModal Annotation markup
language Version 1.1." This document is part of a set of
specifications for multimodal systems, and provides details of
an XML markup language for containing and annotating the
interpretation of user input. Examples of interpretation of
user input are a transcription into words of a raw signal, for
instance derived from speech, pen or keystroke input, a set of
attribute/value pairs describing their meaning, or a set of
attribute/value pairs describing a gesture. The interpretation
of the user's input is expected to be generated by signal
interpretation processes, such as speech and ink recognition,
semantic interpreters, and other types of processors for use by
components that act on the user's inputs such as interaction
managers. Learn more about the Multimodal Interaction Activity.

the TAG Task Force established to explore how interoperability

resolutions to those cases. Learn more about the Technical

W3C Launches New Markup Validation Service
08 February 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9353
The W3C has launched the Nu Markup Validation Service, a
non-DTD-based markup validator being made available to the
community in parallel to the existing DTD-based
validator.w3.org W3C markup validator. The W3C Nu Markup
Validation Service uses the same backend as the Validator.nu
site, which is also the backend for the HTML5-checking feature
of validator.w3.org. The Nu Markup Validation Service is a
separate, standalone validator which provides that same
HTML5-checking feature while also offering a user interface
that exposes additional options, such as full validation
support for XHTML5 documents, and the ability to validate
documents that contain features from "RDFa Core 1.1" and from
"RDFa Lite 1.1."

Widget Access Request Policy is a W3C Recommendation
07 February 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9352
The Web Applications Working Group has published a W3C
Recommendation of "Widget Access Request Policy." This
specification defines the security model controlling network
access from within a widget, as well as a method for authors to
request that the user agent grant access to certain network
resources or sets thereof. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

CSS Positioned Layout Module Level 3 Draft Published
07 February 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9351
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published
the First Public Working Draft of "CSS Positioned Layout 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 positioning and stacking of 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 ability to position elements based on CSS Region boxes,
and the ability to specify a different containing blocks for
elements. Learn more about the Style Activity.

Last Call: Web IDL
07 February 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9350
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "Web IDL." This document defines an interface
definition language, Web IDL, that can be used to describe
interfaces that are intended to be implemented in web browsers.
Web IDL is an IDL variant with a number of features that allow
the behavior of common script objects in the web platform to be
specified more readily. How interfaces described with Web IDL
correspond to constructs within ECMAScript execution
environments is also detailed in this document. It is expected
that this document acts as a guide to implementors of
already-published specifications, and that newly published
specifications reference this document to ensure conforming
implementations of interfaces are interoperable. Comments are
welcome through 28 February. Learn more about the Rich Web
Client Activity.
