W3C Advisory Committee Elects Technical Architecture Group
10 January 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9677
The W3C Advisory Committee has elected the following people to
the Technical Architecture Group (TAG): Marcos Caceres
(Unaffiliated), Yehuda Katz (jQuery Foundation), Alex Russell
(Google), and Anne van Kesteren (Unaffiliated). They join
continuing participants Noah Mendelsohn (unaffiliated),
Jonathan Rees (unaffiliated), Jeni Tennison (Open Data
Institute), and Henry Thompson (U. of Edinburgh), as well as
co-Chair Tim Berners-Lee. W3C thanks those TAG participants
whose terms end this month for their contributions: Peter Linss
(HP), Ashok Malhotra (Oracle), and Larry Masinter (Adobe). The
mission of the TAG is to build consensus around principles of
Web architecture and to interpret and clarify these principles
when necessary, to resolve issues involving general Web
architecture brought to the TAG, and to help coordinate
cross-technology architecture developments inside and outside
W3C. Learn more about the TAG.

XPath 3.0, XQuery 3.0, XQueryX 3.0 are W3C Candidate Recommendations
09 January 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9676
The XSLT Working Group and XML Query Working Group published
Candidate Recommendations for version 3.0 of XQuery, XQueryX
and XPath, together with Functions and Operators and the XPath
and XQuery Data Model. The Serialization specification is also
published, but as a second Last Call, after substantive changes
were made.
http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/
http://www.w3.org/XML/Query/
XPath is a language for selecting parts of XML documents;
XQuery and XQueryX are query languages for selecting, joining
and manipulating XML documents. All three languages operate on
any data source that can be represented as instances of the
XQuery and XPath abstract Data Model (XDM) and can use the
facilities described in the Functions and Operators
specification. XQuery (and external derivatives such as JSONiq)
are becoming widely used in the NoSQL arena as well as with
XML, RDF and large data sets.

Three drafts published by the Web Cryptography Working Group
08 January 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9675
The Web Cryptography Working Group has published three
documents today.
http://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/
* A Working Draft of Web Cryptography API. This specification
describes a JavaScript API for performing basic
cryptographic operations in web applications, such as
hashing, signature generation and verification, and
encryption and decryption. Additionally, it describes an
API for applications to generate and/or manage the keying
material necessary to perform these operations. Uses for
this API range from user or service authentication,
document or code signing, and the confidentiality and
integrity of communications.
* A First Public Working Draft of WebCrypto Key Discovery.
This specification describes a JavaScript API for
discovering named, origin-specific pre-provisioned
cryptographic keys for use with the Web Cryptography API.
Pre-provisioned keys are keys which have been made
available to the UA by means other than the generation,
derivation, imporation functions of the Web Cryptography
API. Origin-specific keys are keys that are available only
to a specified origin. Named keys are identified by a name
assumed to be known to the origin in question and
provisioned with the key itself.
* A First Public Working Draft of Web Cryptography API Use
Cases. This document is an informative overview of the
target use cases for a cryptographic API for the web. These
use cases, described as scenarios, represent some of the
set of expected functionality that may be achieved by the
Web Cryptography API, which provides an API for
cryptographic operations such as encryption and decryption,
and the Key Discovery API, which specifically covers the
ability to access cryptographic keys that have been
pre-provisioned.

Registered Organization Vocabulary Draft Published
08 January 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9674
The Government Linked Data Working Group has published the
First Public Working Draft of "Registered Organization
Vocabulary." This is a vocabulary for describing organizations
that have gained legal entity status through a formal
registration process, typically in a national or regional
register. It focuses solely on such organizations and excludes
natural persons, virtual organizations and other types of legal
entity or 'agent' that are able to act. It should be seen as a
specialization of the more flexible and comprehensive
Organization Ontology. Learn more about the eGovernment
Activity.

Hosted by O'Reilly Media
Today’s eBook market is dynamic, fast-changing and strong.
eBooks compete with printed versions, and there is a wide
choice of hardware and software available for eBook
readers. Nevertheless, publishers face major business and
technical challenges in this market, some of which could be
reduced or removed by standardization.

Rome, Italy
Hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations (FAO).
The MultilingualWeb community develops and promotes best
practices and standards related to all aspects of creating,
localizing, and deploying the Web across boundaries of
language. It aims to raise the visibility of existing best
practices and standards for dealing with language on the
Internet and on identifying and resolving gaps that keep
the Internet from living up to its global potential.
