W3C Launches Web and Mobile Interest Group
20 August 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9917
W3C launched today a Web and Mobile Interest Group that is
chartered to accelerate the development of Web technology so
that it becomes a compelling platform for mobile applications
and the obvious choice for cross platform development. The
forum is intended to include organisations that commission such
products and services, designers, developers, equipment
manufacturers, tool and platform vendors, browser vendors,
operators and other relevant participants in the value chain
that creates and operates such products and services.
Participants will focus on a wide range of sectors including
retail, advertising, technology, network operators, content
creation and content distribution.

s
* Core Mobile Web Platform 2012 Deployment Status, which will
summarize the various actions that the Interest Group is
undertaking to ensure that the relevant stakeholders
facilitate the deployment and adoption of the features that
have been identified in the Core Mobile Web Platform 2012
report. The group will also publish new versions of the
report
* Standards for Web Applications on Mobile: current state and
roadmap, which will take a broader look at all the Web
technologies under development that are particularly
relevant to mobile devices, and tracks their status and
adoption.
* A gap analysis that provides an overview of the differences
between the Web as a platform on mobile and other popular
platforms and ecosystems, both from a technical and
commercial perspective.
* Additional reports on use cases and scenarios for
context-relevant user experiences, multi-device and
cross-device user experiences on the Web, and Usability and
Efficiency Considerations for the Web on Mobile.

Public Identifiers for entity resolution in XHTML Draft Published
22 August 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9922
The HTML Working Group has published a Working Draft of "Public
Identifiers for entity resolution in XHTML." This document
adds an additional public identifier that should be recognised
by XHTML user agents and cause the HTML character entity
definitions to be loaded. Unlike the identifiers already listed
by the HTML5 specification, the identifier added by this
extension references the set of defintions that is used by
HTML. Learn more about the HTML Activity.

WebCrypto Key Discovery Working Draft Published
22 August 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9920
The Web Cryptography Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "WebCrypto Key Discovery." This specification
describes a JavaScript API for discovering named,
origin-specific pre-provisioned cryptographic keys for use with
the Web Cryptography API. Pre-provisioned keys are keys which
have been made available to the user agent by means other than
the generation, derivation, importation functions of the Web
Cryptography API. Origin-specific keys are keys that are
available only to a specified origin. Named keys are identified
by a name assumed to be known to the origin in question and
provisioned with the key itself. Learn more about the Security
Activity.

Three RDFa Recommendations Published
22 August 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9919
[] The RDFa Working Group today published three RDFa
Recommendations. RDFa lets authors put machine-readable data in
HTML documents. Using RDFa, authors may turn their existing
human-visible text and links into machine-readable data without
repeating content. Today's publications were:
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/
http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/
* HTML+RDFa 1.1, which defines rules and guidelines for
adapting the RDFa Core 1.1 and RDFa Lite 1.1 specifications
for use in HTML5 and XHTML5. The rules defined in this
specification not only apply to HTML5 documents in non-XML
and XML mode, but also to HTML4 and XHTML documents
interpreted through the HTML5 parsing rules.
* The group also published two Second Editions for RDFa Core
1.1 and XHTML+RDFa 1.1, folding in the errata reported by
the community since their publication as Recommendations in
June 2012; all changes were editorial.
* The group also updated the a RDFa 1.1 Primer.

21 August 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9918
The MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Version
2.0." ITS 2.0 makes it easier to integrate automated
processing of human language into core Web technologies. ITS
2.0 focuses on HTML, XML-based formats in general, and can
leverage processing based on the XML Localization Interchange
File Format (XLIFF), as well as the Natural Language Processing
Interchange Format (NIF). Comments are welcome through 10
September. Learn more about the Internationalization Activity.
