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
   about the Video in the Web Activity.

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
   about the Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.

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.
