Ian Jacobs, W3C Communications Team ----------------------------------- This is for Everyone: the Tweet Heard Around the World 30 July 2012 | Archive http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9518 [] Tim Berners-Lee, London native, inventor of the World Wide Web and Founder and Director of the W3C was celebrated on stage during the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony on July 27 where he live tweeted 'This is for everyone.' What better venue than the Olympic Games, which inspire young people and bring competitors together, to recognize Berners-Lee's role in history and his continued advocacy that the Web, built on open standards, remains available to everyone, everywhere. Congratulations to Sir Tim!

Task models are useful when designing and developing interactive systems. They describe the logical activities that have to be carried out in order to reach the user’s goals. This document covers the specification of Task Models, with a meta-model expressed in UML, and an XML Schema that can be used as the basis for interchange of Task Models between different user interface development tools.

This specification describes a high-level JavaScript API for processing and synthesizing audio in web applications. The primary paradigm is of an audio routing graph, where a number of AudioNode objects are connected together to define the overall audio rendering. The actual processing will primarily take place in the underlying implementation (typically optimized Assembly / C / C++ code), but direct JavaScript processing and synthesis is also supported. This API is designed to be used in conjunction with other APIs and elements on the web platform, notably: XMLHttpRequest (using the responseType and response attributes). For games and interactive applications, it is anticipated to be used with the canvas 2D and WebGL 3D graphics APIs.
