04 September 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9553
[] W3C announces today a Shift into High Gear on the Web, a
Workshop Web and Automotive, 14-15 November 2012, in Rome
(Italy). The event is hosted by Intel/OTC (Open Source
Technology Center) and sponsored by Webinos.
http://www.w3.org/2012/08/web-and-automotive/
http://www.w3.org/2012/08/web-and-automotive/
People today enjoy applications and services from multiple
networked devices: notebook and desktop computers, smart
phones, tablets, and Internet TVs. With our increasingly mobile
lifestyles, it’s time to include the connected car in this mix.
The Web is the ideal platform to offer a rich range of benefits
and value-added services to drivers and passengers. The goal of
this workshop is to explore how to make these benefits a
reality.
W3C invites automotive manufacturers and service providers,
wireless carriers, insurance companies, application and
solution developers and others to participate in this
discussion at the workshop. W3C membership is not required to
participate. Please submit a statement of interest by 12
October and learn more about participation.

Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Version 2.0 Draft Published
29 August 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9550
The MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Version 2.0."
Content or software that is authored in one language (the
source language) is often made available in additional
languages or adapted with regard to other cultural aspects.
This is done through a process called localization, where the
original material is translated and adapted to the target
audience. In addition, document formats expressed by schemas
may be used by people in different parts of the world, and
these people may need special markup to support the local
language or script. For example, people authoring in languages
such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, or Urdu need special markup to
specify directionality in mixed direction text.
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20120829/
ITS 2.0 is a technology to add metadata to Web content, for the
benefit of localization, language technologies, and
internationalization. Learn more about the Internationalization
Activity.

[] Five leading global organizations—IEEE, Internet
Architecture Board (IAB), Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF), Internet Society and World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C)—today announced that they have signed a statement
affirming the importance of a jointly developed set of
principles establishing a modern paradigm for global, open
standards. The shared “OpenStand” principles—based on the
effective and efficient standardization processes that have
made the Internet and Web the premiere platforms for innovation
and borderless commerce—are proven in their ability to foster
competition and cooperation, support innovation and
interoperability and drive market success. Read the full press

Automotive
http://www.w3.org/2012/08/web-and-automotive/
Rome, Italy
Hosted by Intel and Sponsored by Webinos
W3C’s Open Web Platform (OWP) is driving this and other

tethering a driver’s smartphone or tablet to work with a
car--or embedding technology into the car itself--there’s
no need to reinvent the wheel. The Web can take you there.
Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to
share their own perspectives, requirements, and ideas to
ensure that emerging global technology standards meet the
needs of the Web and Automotive industries.
