Dear W3C Public Newsletter Subscriber, The 2013-07-08 version of the W3C Public Newsletter is online: http://www.w3.org/News/Public/pnews-20130708 A simplified plain text version is available below. Ian Jacobs, W3C Communications Team ----------------------------------- W3C Invites Implementations of Indexed Database API 04 July 2013 | Archive http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9882 The Web Applications Working Group invites implementation of the Candidate Recommendation 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.

Easy Checks helps you assess if a Web page addresses accessibility. It provides simple steps for anyone who can use the Web; no accessibility knowledge or skill is required. The checks cover just a few accessibility issues and are designed to be quick and easy, rather than definitive.

Researchers, practitioners, designers, application developers, users with disabilities, and others are invited to participate. The symposium will analyze different methods and implementations of user modeling and their potential usage for improving accessibility. This includes the design, creation, storage, and usage of user models, in particular in web browsers, applications, authoring tools, and other aspects of the Web. For details and registration, see User Modeling for Accessibility - Online Symposium.

It also features a printer-friendly PDF version, and makes it easier to contribute to test suites via github. http://webinos.org/ http://www.w3.org/2013/06/mobile-web-app-state/Overview.pdf Learn more about the Web and Mobile Devices. http://www.w3.org/Mobile/ More news: http://www.w3.org/News/archive Workshops * 2013-07-22 (22 JUL) – 2013-07-23 (23 JUL) Get Smart: Smart Homes, Cars, Devices and the Web - Workshop on Rich Multimodal Application Development http://www.w3.org/2013/07/mmi/ New York Metropolitan Area, US Hosted by Openstream HTML5 has paved the way for development of rich web applications and has been widely adopted by application developers. Ease of user-interaction (user experience) with applications has become a prime focus world-wide, thanks to the proliferation of new devices and platforms including mobile phones, tablet devices, eBook readers, and gaming platforms. In addition, traditional platforms such as TV's, sudio systems, and automobiles are rapidly becoming capable of much more intelligent interaction than in the past. User-interaction through speech, touch, gesture and swipe has become the key differentiator in the success of popular applications today. One of the key advantages of the W3C Multimodal Architecture (MMI) is its suitability for simple to sophisticated applications across devices in creating compelling user experiences, leveraging advances in i/o methodologies, and supporting inter-operability among multiple vendors' products. * 2013-08-07 ( 7 AUG) – 2013-08-08 ( 8 AUG) Workshop on Social Standards: The Future of Business http://www.w3.org/2013/socialweb/ San Francisco, United States Hosted by AppFusions and sponsored by IBM * 2013-09-10 (10 SEP) – 2013-09-11 (11 SEP) RDF Validation Workshop - Practical Assurances for Quality RDF Data https://www.w3.org/2012/12/rdf-val/ Cambridge, MA Hosted by MIT * 2013-09-16 (16 SEP) – 2013-09-17 (17 SEP) Publishing and the Open Web Platform http://www.w3.org/2012/12/global-publisher/ Paris, France Hosted by the Institut de Recherche et d'Innovation (IRI) W3C Blog * None.
