HTML Group Rechartered with New Dual License
30 September 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3253
[] W3C announces today the new charter for the HTML Working
Group, until the end of June 2015. The HTML Group mission
remains the development of the HTML language and its associated
APIs. This new charter includes an experiment where the HTML
Working Group can publish some of their Recommendation-track
specifications under a permissive license. This is intended to
encourage collaboration and make it easier to reuse materials.
See the charter and FAQ Regarding HTML Working Group Charter
License Experiment for more details. The group remains on
schedule to complete HTML 5.0 to W3C Recommendation in 2014.
Learn more about the HTML Working Group.

First Public Working Draft: WAI-ARIA 1.1
26 September 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3233
The Protocols and Formats Working Group today published a First
Public Working Draft of Accessible Rich Internet Applications
"WAI-ARIA 1.1." WAI-ARIA provides an ontology of roles,
states, and properties that define accessible user interface
elements and it can be used to improve the accessibility and
interoperability of web content, particularly web applications.
It is introduced in the WAI-ARIA Overview. WAI-ARIA 1.1 is
expected to include only a few changes from 1.0. The primary
change in this Draft is the addition of aria-describedat. Learn
about the current status of WAI-ARIA 1.0 and 1.1, and the Web
Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Timed Text Markup Language 1 (TTML1) (Second Edition) is a W3C
Recommendation
24 September 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3227
The Timed Text Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation
of "Timed Text Markup Language 1 (TTML1) (Second Edition)."
This document specifies Timed Text Markup Language (TTML),
Version 1, also known as TTML1, in terms of a vocabulary and
semantics thereof. The Timed Text Markup Language is a content
type that represents timed text media for the purpose of
interchange among authoring systems. Timed text is textual
information that is intrinsically or extrinsically associated
with timing information. It is intended to be used for the
purpose of transcoding or exchanging timed text information
among legacy distribution content formats presently in use for
subtitling and captioning functions. 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. Learn more

Call for Review: Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Version 2.0
Proposed Recommendation Published
24 September 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3225
The MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group has published a Proposed
Recommendation of "Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Version
2.0." The technology described in this document
“Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) 2.0“ enhances the
foundation to integrate automated processing of human language
into core Web technologies. ITS 2.0 bears many commonalities
with its predecessor, ITS 1.0 but provides additional concepts
that are designed to foster the automated creation and
processing of multilingual Web content. 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 22 October. Learn more
about the Internationalization Activity.

Network Service Discovery Draft Published
24 September 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3223
The Device APIs Working Group has published a Working Draft of
"Network Service Discovery." This specification defines a
mechanism for an HTML document to discover and subsequently
communicate with HTTP-based services advertised via common
discovery protocols within the current network. Learn more

vCard Ontology Draft Published
24 September 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3221
The Semantic Web Interest Group has published a new Working
Draft of "vCard Ontology." The document describes a mapping of
the vCard specification (RFC6350) to RDF/OWL. The goal is to
promote the use of vCard for the description of people and
organizations utilizing semantic web techniques and allowing
compatibility with traditional vCard implementations. Learn
more about the Semantic Web Activity.

Canonical EXI First Public Working Draft Published
24 September 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3218
The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group has published a
Working Draft of the "EXI Canonicalization (EXI C14N)
specification." It describes a relatively simple method for
generating a physical representation, the canonical form, of an
EXI document that accounts for the permissible differences
between two logically equivalent EXI documents. One application
field for the canonical form of an XML-based document or
document subset is digital signature. Supporting EXI
canonicalization without going through plain-text XML is
preferable in constrained environments and device classes where
document size and processing overhead are critical. Learn more
about the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.
