http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9829
W3C announced today a Workshop on Social Standards: The Future
of Business, 7-8 August 2013, in San Francisco, USA. The event
is hosted by AppFusions, sponsored by IBM, and jointly
organized with the OpenSocial Foundation. The goal of this
workshop is to bring together social business experts and

existing specifications and standards don't adequately address,
and understand where new standards are needed. This Workshop is
open in particular to social business leaders and strategists,
federated and decentralized social Web technologists, security
experts, and developers. W3C membership is not required to
participate. The event is open to all. All participants are
required to submit a position paper by 1 July 2013.

A report summarizing the MultilingualWeb workshop in Rome is
now available from the MultilingualWeb site. It contains a
summary of each session with links to presentation slides and
minutes taken during the workshop in Rome. The workshop was a
huge success, with approximately 150 participants, focus
sessions on topics like Internationalized Domain Names, Best
Practices for Multilingual Linked Open Data (BP-MLOD) and an
implementation showcase of the upcoming "ITS 2.0"
specification. The Workshop was hosted by FAO, sponsored by the
EU-funded QTLaunchPad project and by Verisign. A new workshop
in the MultilingualWeb series is planned for 2014. Learn more

Last Call: JSON-LD 1.0 Processing Algorithms and API
16 May 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9827
The RDF Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft
of "JSON-LD 1.0 Processing Algorithms and API." This
specification defines an Application Programming Interface
(API) and a set of algorithms for programmatic transformations
of JSON-LD documents. Restructuring data according the defined
transformations often dramatically simplifies its usage.
Comments are welcome through 06 June. Learn more about the
Semantic Web Activity.

Last Call: Indexed Database API
16 May 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9826
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "Indexed Database API." This document defines
APIs for a database of records holding simple values and
hierarchical objects. Each record consists of a key and some
value. Moreover, the database maintains indexes over records it
stores. An application developer directly uses an API to locate
records either by their key or by using an index. A query
language can be layered on this API. An indexed database can be
implemented using a persistent B-tree data structure. Comments
are welcome through 07 June. Learn more about the Rich Web
Client Activity.

Two Drafts Published by the System Applications Working Group
16 May 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9825
The System Applications Working Group has published two Working
Drafts today:
http://www.w3.org/2012/sysapps/
* The app: URI scheme. This specification defines the app:
URI scheme and rules for dereferencing an app: URI, which
can be used to address resources inside a package (e.g., a
packaged application). The dereferencing model relies on
HTTP semantics to return resources in a manner akin to a
HTTP GET request. Doing so allows this URI scheme to be
used with other technologies that rely on HTTP responses to
function as intended, such as XHR.
* Messaging API. This specification defines a System Level
API which offers a simple interface to get access to mobile
messaging services. A typical use case of the Messaging API
is the implementation of a messaging client application
that allows the user to send SMS and MMS messages as well
as to access and manage the received SMS and MMS messages.
