http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9801
Who is W3C to you? Who should we be?
As W3C nears its 20th anniversary in 2014 we are conducting a
research project. We invite you to complete our first public
survey about the W3C brand. Your responses will help guide
where we direct our energies as we evolve the W3C brand.
http://pull.erssurvey.com/W3CT
The survey, open through 5 May 2013, should take approximately
15 minutes to complete. Participants who complete the survey
may enter to win an Apple iPad mini.
http://pull.erssurvey.com/W3CT
W3C has retained Salloway and Associates, an independent market
strategy and research company, to conduct this survey on a
confidential and professional basis. W3C will receive only
anonymized data. Please see the survey for the complete privacy
policy.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Selectors Level 4 Draft Published
02 May 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9808
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "Selectors Level 4." Selectors are patterns
that match against elements in a tree, and as such form one of
several technologies that can be used to select nodes in an XML
document. Selectors have been optimized for use with HTML and
XML, and are designed to be usable in performance-critical
code. They are a core component of CSS (Cascading Style
Sheets), which uses Selectors to bind style properties to
elements in the document. Selectors Level 4 describes the
selectors that already exist in [SELECT], and further
introduces new selectors for CSS and other languages that may
need them. Learn more about the Style Activity.

vCard Ontology Draft Published
02 May 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9807
The Semantic Web Interest Group has published a Working Draft
of "vCard Ontology." The document describes a mapping of the
vCard specification (RFC6350) to RDF/OWL. The goal is to
promote the use of vCard for the description of people and
organisations utilising semantic web techniques and allowing
compatibility with traditional vCard implementations. Learn
more about the Semantic Web Activity.

The PROV Family of Documents are W3C Recommendations
30 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9805
The Provenance Working Group was chartered to develop a
framework for interchanging provenance on the Web. The Working
Group has now published the PROV Family of Documents as W3C
Recommendations, along with corresponding supporting notes. You
can find a complete list of the documents in the "PROV Overview
Note." PROV enables one to represent and interchange
provenance information using widely available formats such as
RDF and XML. In addition, it provides definitions for accessing
provenance information, validating it, and mapping to Dublin
Core. Learn more about the Semantic Web.

Publishing and Linking on the Web Note Published
30 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9804
The Technical Architecture Group has published a Group Note of
"Publishing and Linking on the Web." The Web borrows familiar
concepts from physical media (e.g., the notion of a "page") and
overlays them on top of a networked infrastructure (the
Internet) and a digital presentation medium (browser software).
This is a convenient abstraction, but when social or legal
concepts and frameworks relating documents, publishing and
speech are applied to the Web, the analogies can be misleading,
for example, publishing a page on the Web is fundamentally
different from printing and distributing a page in a magazine
or book. Learn more about the Technical Architecture Group.

Two Drafts Published by the Tracking Protection Working Group
30 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9803
The Tracking Protection Working Group has published two Working
Drafts today:
http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/
* Tracking Preference Expression (DNT). This specification
defines the technical mechanisms for expressing a tracking
preference via the DNT request header field in HTTP, via an
HTML DOM property readable by embedded scripts, and via
properties accessible to various user agent plug-in or
extension APIs. It also defines mechanisms for sites to
signal whether and how they honor this preference, both in
the form of a machine-readable tracking status resource at
a well-known location and via a Tk response header field,
and a mechanism for allowing the user to approve exceptions
to DNT as desired.
* Tracking Compliance and Scope. This specification defines
the meaning of a Do Not Track (DNT) preference and sets out
practices for websites to comply with this preference.
