Tim Berners-Lee, Marc Andreessen, Vinton Cerf, Robert Kahn, and Louis
Pouzin Awarded 2013 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering
18 March 2013 | Archive

[] 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.

"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."

Eleven SPARQL 1.1 Specifications are W3C Recommendations
21 March 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9766
The SPARQL Working Group has completed development of its
full-featured system for querying and managing data using the
flexible RDF data model. 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."

Runtime and Security Model for Web Applications Draft Published
21 March 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9765
The System Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Runtime and Security Model for Web Applications."
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. Learn more about
the Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.
