Two upcoming W3C Workshops on Digital Publishing
09 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9778
W3C announced today two closely related workshops, part of the
W3C headlights 2013 exercise on Digital Publishing:
* eBooks & i18n: Richer Internationalization for eBooks on 4
June 2013 in Tokyo, Japan. This workshop will investigate
international functionality that needs to be added to the
Open Web Platform; the goal is to make the various eBook
reading platforms suitable for electronic books that use
the printing and typesetting traditions of different
cultures. If you are interested in participating, please
submit a position paper by 30 April 2013.
* Publishing and the Open Web Platform on 16-17 September
2013 in Paris, France. This workshop will look at the
"back-end" processing to make the Open Web Platform
suitable for commercial publishing, especially in print,
all the way from authoring through to delivering the
printed product and beyond. If you are interested in
participating, please submit a position paper by 1 July
2013.
Last Call: API for Media Resources 1.0
11 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9786
The Media Annotations Working Group has published a 3rd Last
Call Working Draft of "API for Media Resources 1.0." This
specification defines an API to access metadata information
related to media resources on the Web. The overall purpose is
to provide developers with a convenient access to metadata
information stored in different metadata formats. The API
provides means to access the set of metadata properties defined
in the Ontology for Media Resources 1.0 specification. These
properties are used as a pivot vocabulary in this API. The core
of this specification is the definition of API interfaces for
retrieving metadata information in synchronous and
asynchronous. It also defines interfaces for structured return
types along with the specification of the behavior of an API
implementation. Comments are welcome through 03 June. Learn
more about the Video in the Web Activity.

Last Call: JSON-LD 1.0, JSON-LD 1.0 Processing Algorithms and API
11 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9785
The RDF Working Group and the JSON-LD Community Group have
published two Last Call Working Drafts today:
http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/Main_Page
http://json-ld.org/
* JSON-LD 1.0. JSON-LD harmonizes the representation of
Linked Data in JSON by describing a common JSON
representation format for expressing directed graphs;
mixing both Linked Data and non-Linked Data in a single
document. The syntax is designed to not disturb already
deployed systems running on JSON, but provide a smooth
upgrade path from JSON to JSON-LD. It is primarily intended
to be a way to use Linked Data in Web-based programming
environments, to build interoperable Linked Data Web
services, and to store Linked Data in JSON-based storage
engines. JSON-LD is capable of serializing any RDF graph or
dataset and most, but not all, JSON-LD documents can be
directly transformed to RDF.
* JSON-LD 1.0: Algorithms and API. The JSON-LD 1.0 Algorithms
and API specification describes useful Algorithms for
working with JSON-LD data. It also specifies an Application
Programming Interface that can be used to transform JSON-LD
documents in order to make them easier to work with in
programming environments like JavaScript, Python, and Ruby.
This is a Last Call publication for both specifications. All
substantive technical work on the specification is complete.
Feedback on both specifications is encouraged and should be
sent to public-rdf-comments@w3.org. The Last Call period will
end in 4 weeks, on May 10th 2013
mailto:public-rdf-comments@w3.org

Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Version 2.0 Draft Published
11 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9784
The MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group has published an updated
working draft of "Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Version
2.0." The Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) 2.0 enhances the
foundation to integrate automated processing of human language
into core Web technologies. ITS 2.0 provides metadata to foster
the adoption of the multilingual Web. The draft reflects
"changes" since the "last call publication 6 December 2012" and
asks for feedback on the "remaining open issues." Learn more
about the Internationalization Activity.

Recommendation of "Web Storage." This specification defines an

Working Drafts of RDF 1.1 Semantics and TriG, N-Triples and N-Quads
published as Notes
09 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9780
The RDF Working Group has published two Working Drafts today:
http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/
* RDF 1.1 Semantics. This document describes a precise
semantics for the Resource Description Framework 1.1 and
RDF Schema. It defines a number of distinct entailment
regimes and corresponding systems of inference rules. It is
part of a suite of documents which comprise the full
specification of RDF 1.1.
* TriG. This document defines a textual syntax for RDF called
TriG that allows an RDF dataset to be completely written in
a compact and natural text form, with abbreviations for
common usage patterns and datatypes. TriG is an extension
of the Turtle format.
The RDF Working Group also published two Group Notes today:
http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/
* N-Triples. N-Triples is a line-based, plain text format for
encoding an RDF graph.
* N-Quads. N-Quads is a line-based, plain text format for
encoding an RDF dataset.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2 Draft Published
09 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9779
The SVG Working Group has published a Working Draft of
"Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2." This specification defines
the features and syntax for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
Version 2, a language for describing two-dimensional vector and
mixed vector/raster graphics. Although an XML serialization is
given, processing is defined in terms of a DOM. Learn more
about the Graphics Activity.
