[] Each year the W3C community gathers for a week of joint
meetings and discussion of technical challenges that have a
broad impact on the Web. W3C, and our exclusive Host Tencent,
are pleased to announce today that TPAC2013 will be held in
Shenzhen, China 18-22 November. "Tencent is excited to work
with W3C to bring TPAC to China" said HuoTao (Hugo) Wang,
Assistant General Manager for Tencent. "We believe this will be
the first of many exciting events for W3C in China driven by
the new Host at Beihang University."

Call for Review: Three SPARQL 1.1 Proposed Recommendations Published
29 January 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9700
The SPARQL Working Group has published today a set of three
documents, advancing most of SPARQL 1.1 to Proposed
Recommendation. This publication completes the set of Proposed
Recommendations for SPARQL 1.1, after the first series
published in November 2012. Building on the success of SPARQL
1.0, SPARQL 1.1 is a full-featured standard system for working
with RDF data, including a query/update language, two HTTP
protocols (one full-featured, one using basic HTTP verbs),
three result formats, and other features which allow SPARQL
endpoints to be combined and work together. Most features of
SPARQL 1.1 have already been implemented by a range of SPARQL
suppliers, as shown in our table of implementations and test
results.

http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9624
http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/implementations/
The three Proposed Recommendations published today are:
* SPARQL 1.1 Entailment Regimes - defines the semantics of
SPARQL queries under entailment regimes such as RDF Schema,
OWL, or RIF.
* SPARQL 1.1 Protocol for RDF - A protocol defining means for
conveying arbitrary SPARQL queries and update requests to a
SPARQL service.
* SPARQL 1.1 Graph Store HTTP Protocol - As opposed to the
full SPARQL protocol, this specification defines minimal
means for managing RDF graph content directly via common
HTTP operations.

Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
29 January 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9699
The Web Applications Working Group and the Web Application
Security Working Group have published a Candidate
Recommendation of "Cross-Origin Resource Sharing." This
document defines a mechanism to enable client-side cross-origin
requests. Specifications that enable an API to make
cross-origin requests to resources can use the algorithms
defined by this specification. If such an API is used on
http://example.org resources, a resource on
http://hello-world.example can opt in using the mechanism
described by this specification (e.g., specifying
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://example.org as response
header), which would allow that resource to be fetched
cross-origin from http://example.org. Learn more about the Rich
Web Client Activity and the Security Activity.

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
