Dear W3C Public Newsletter Subscriber, The 2012-02-27 version of the W3C Public Newsletter is online: http://www.w3.org/News/Public/pnews-20120227 A simplified plain text version is available below. Ian Jacobs, W3C Communications Team ----------------------------------- 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." http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/02/23/we-can-t- wait-obama-administration-unveils-blueprint-privacy-bill-rights http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/02/23/fact-shee t-plan-protect-privacy-internet-age-adopting-consumer-privacy-b 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.” Read the full W3C press release and learn more about W3C's Privacy Activity. http://www.w3.org/2012/02/dnt.html.en http://www.w3.org/Privacy/ Demos with W3C at Mobile World Congress 2012 24 February 2012 | Archive http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9374 [] W3C invites media, analysts, and other attendees of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2012 to meet with W3C and learn how the Open Web Platform is transforming industry.

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.

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.

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.
