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.

   The initial deliverables of the group include:

   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.

Last Call: Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Version 2.0

   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.
