Dear W3C Public Newsletter Subscriber, The 2013-03-25 version of the W3C Public Newsletter is online: http://www.w3.org/News/Public/pnews-20130325 A simplified plain text version is available below. Ian Jacobs, W3C Communications Team ----------------------------------- Tim Berners-Lee, Marc Andreessen, Vinton Cerf, Robert Kahn, and Louis Pouzin Awarded 2013 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering 18 March 2013 | Archive http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9763 [] The Royal Academy of Engineering announced today that Tim Berners-Lee, Marc Andreessen, Vinton Cerf, Robert Kahn, and Louis Pouzin are the recipients of the new Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering, which recognizes "outstanding advances in engineering that have changed the world and benefited humanity." The award is shared by Berners-Lee for his invention of the Web, Andreessen for his work on the Mosaic browser, and Pouzin, Cerf, and Kahn for their pioneering work on fundamental Internet protocols. http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/ http://qeprize.org/latestnews/ http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Andreessen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vint_Cerf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Kahn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Pouzin http://qeprize.org/ "The prize recognises what has been a roller-coaster ride of wonderful international collaboration," said Berners-Lee. "Bob and Vint’s work on building the internet was re-enforced by Louis’ work on datagrams and that enabled me to invent the Web. Marc’s determined and perceptive work built on these platforms a product which became widely deployed across nations and computing platforms. I am honoured to receive this accolade and humbled to share it with them. I want the Web to inspire and empower new generations of engineers --boys and, especially, girls-- who will build, in turn, their own platforms, to improve our global society. I hope the message behind this award, along with the work we are doing with the World Wide Web Foundation and W3C, will assist in achieving the vision of a web that is open, accessible and of value to all."

It has now published eleven Recommendations for SPARQL 1.1, detailed in "SPARQL 1.1 Overview." SPARQL 1.1 extends the 2008 Recommendation for "SPARQL 1.0" by adding features to the query language such as "aggregates," "subqueries," "negation," "property paths," and an expanded set of "functions and operators." Beyond the query language, SPARQL 1.1 adds other features that were widely requested, including "update," "service description," a "JSON results format," and support for "entailment reasoning."

This document specifies a runtime and security model for Web Applications. It describes how an application is defined through an application manifest, and how it can be installed, updated and packaged. It also specifies how such an application can put into the background, put back in the foreground or woken up. Finally, the document describes the security model for such applications. This includes the permission model and the different security rules that would apply.
