W3C Workshop Report: Richer Internationalization for eBooks
10 July 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9885
W3C published today a report summarizing the Workshop on Richer
Internationalization for eBooks, which took place 4 June in
Tokyo. Participants discussed topics such as how CSS Paged
Media spec can already go a long way to support ebooks, various
aspects of ruby annotation that are not yet addressed, how to
handle ideographic characters that are not in the character
encoding, how JavaScript can be relevant to ebooks (especially
since internationalization features are currently being added
to the core language), and the need to increase the
availability and usability of Far Eastern fonts for ebooks.The
report also includes the results of a survey sent to Workshop
participants immediately following the workshop to rank the
issues that were discussed.

Call for Review: Timed Text Markup Language (TTML) 1.0 (Second
Edition) Proposed Edited Recommendation Published
09 July 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9884
The Timed Text Working Group has published a Proposed Edited
Recommendation of "Timed Text Markup Language (TTML) 1.0
(Second Edition)." TTML 1.0 provides a standardized
representation of a particular subset of textual information
with which stylistic, layout, and timing semantics are
associated by an author or an authoring system for the purpose
of interchange and potential presentation. In addition to being
used for interchange among legacy distribution content formats,
TTML Content may be used directly as a distribution format, for
example, providing a standard content format to reference from
a <track> element in an HTML5 document, or a <text> or
<textstream> media element in a SMIL 2.1 document. Comments are
welcome through 06 August. Learn more about the Video in the
Web Activity.

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.
