White House Supports Do Not Track Technology from W3C
23 February 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9372
Today the White House announces a Consumer Privacy Bill of
Rights and support for W3C's Do Not Track technology. The
announcement includes: "In response to calls from the
Administration and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), leading
Internet companies and online advertising networks are
committing to use Do Not Track technology from the World Wide
Web Consortium in most major web browsers to make it easier for
users to control online tracking."

W3C is building consensus around global Web technology that
will allow users to express a preference regarding being
tracked online, and what is necessary to comply with the user's
preference. W3C welcomes support from the US Government for the
steps that industry and civil society are taking within W3C to
give users meaningful privacy choices and options for consent.
“Personal privacy on the Web is one of the most important
policy and technical issues of the decade,” said Dr. Jeff
Jaffe, W3C CEO. “Standards for online consumer privacy should
be developed in a global forum, led by industry, with
multistakeholder participation. W3C is well-positioned as the
forum to address complex online privacy issues.”

W3C Invites Implementations of R2RML and A Direct Mapping of
Relational Data to RDF
23 February 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9370
The RDB2RDF Working Group has published two Candidate
Recommendation documents that help to bring relational database
information to the Semantic Web: "R2RML: RDB to RDF Mapping
Language" and "A Direct Mapping of Relational Data to RDF."
The former describes R2RML, a language for expressing
customized mappings from relational databases to RDF datasets.
Such mappings provide the ability to view existing relational
data in the RDF data model, expressed in a structure and target
vocabulary of the mapping author's choice. The latter document
defines a direct mapping from relational data to RDF.
Implementations are invited. Test Cases are available at:
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/test-cases/. Directions on
how to submit implementation reports and test case results are
at:
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/wiki/Submitting_Implementatio
n_Reports. Comments and implementation experience reports are
welcome through 30 April 2012. Learn more about the Semantic
Web Activity.

Clipboard API and events Draft Published
23 February 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9371
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Clipboard API and events." This specification
defines the common clipboard operations of cutting, copying and
pasting, in such a way that they are exposed to Web
Applications and can be adapted to provide advanced
functionalities. Its goal is to provide for compatibility where
possible with existing implementations. Learn more about the
Rich Web Client Activity.

Last Call: Timing control for script-based animations
21 February 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9368
The Web Performance Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "Timing control for script-based animations."
This document defines an API web page authors can use to write
script-based animations where the user agent is in control of
limiting the update rate of the animation. The user agent is in
a better position to determine the ideal animation rate based
on whether the page is currently in a foreground or background
tab, what the current load on the CPU is, and so on. Using this
API should therefore result in more appropriate utilization of
the CPU by the browser. Comments are welcome through 20 March.
Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.
