of Internet Cooperation
7 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3298
The leaders of organizations responsible for coordination of
the Internet technical infrastructure globally met in
Montevideo, Uruguay, to consider current issues affecting the
future of the Internet. They issued today a Montevideo
Statement on the Future of Internet Cooperation, signed by
African Network Information Center (AFRINIC), American Registry
for Internet Numbers (ARIN), Asia-Pacific Network Information
Centre (APNIC), Internet Architecture Board (IAB), Internet

W3C Workshop Report: RDF Validation: Practical Assurances for Quality
RDF Data
4 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3291
W3C today published the final report of the Workshop on RDF
Validation: Practical Assurances for Quality RDF Data that was
held 10-11 September 2013 in Cambridge.
http://www.w3.org/2012/12/rdf-val/report
http://www.w3.org/2012/12/rdf-val/
The goal of the Workshop was to identify use cases,
requirements, and candidate technologies to address the need
for interface definition and validation for RDF documents and
messages. The 20 presentations focused on current and future
requirements and solutions. Discussion sessions focused on
consensus-building around scope and next steps.
http://www.w3.org/2012/12/rdf-val/agenda
This workshop laid the groundwork for W3C to develop a human
and machine-readable description of the “shape” of the RDF
graphs that a service produces or consumes. This description
should be usable for validation, form-generation, as well as
human-readable documentation. The participants further agreed
that the solution must provide a declarative way of describing
simple integrity constraints along with an extension mechanism
that allows using technologies such as SPARQL to specify more
complex constraints.
Call for Review: CSS Style Attributes Proposed Recommendation
Published
3 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3289
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Proposed Recommendation of "CSS Style Attributes." Markup
languages such as HTML and SVG provide a style attribute on
most elements, to hold inline style information that applies to
those elements. This draft describes the syntax and
interpretation of the CSS fragment that can be used in such
style attributes. Comments are welcome through 31 October.
Learn more about the Style Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Fonts Module Level 3, and CSS
Cascading and Inheritance Level 3
3 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3287
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group invites
implementation of two Candidate Recommendations:
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members
* CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 3. This CSS module
describes how to collate style rules and assign values to
all properties on all elements. By way of cascading and
inheritance, values are propagated for all properties on
all elements. CSS is a language for describing the
rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on
screen, on paper, in speech, etc.
* CSS Fonts Module Level 3. This CSS3 module describes how
font properties are specified and how font resources are
loaded dynamically. The contents of this specification are
a consolidation of content previously divided into CSS3
Fonts and CSS3 Web Fonts modules. The description of font
load events was moved into the CSS3 Font Load Events
module.

Using WAI-ARIA in HTML Working Draft Published
3 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3284
The HTML Working Group has published an updated Working Draft
of "Using WAI-ARIA in HTML." Using WAI-ARIA in HTML is a
practical guide for developers on how to add accessibility
information to HTML elements using the Accessible Rich Internet
Applications ( "WAI-ARIA" ) specification, which defines a way
to make Web content and Web applications more accessible to
people with disabilities. It is developed by the HTML
Accessibility Task Force in coordination with the HTML Working
Group and the WAI Protocols and Formats Working Group
(PFWG).Learn more about the HTML Activity and the Web
Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

W3C Workshop Report: Publishing and the Open Web Platform
3 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3282
W3C published today the final report of the Workshop on the
Publishing and the Open Web Platform that was held 16-17
September 2013 in Paris. W3C thanks IRI for hosting the event,
Intel and Adobe for their sponsorship, and INRIA for their
support.

http://www.adobe.com/
http://www.inria.fr
The W3C Workshop in Paris was the third in a series of industry
consultation events held by W3C. The goal of this Workshop was
first to identify difficulties faced by existing professional
publishing organizations in using tools based on the Open Web
platform, including the production of printed books, and second
to find ways to work on eliminating or ameliorating those
difficulties. We received approximately fifty statements of
interest and position papers for the two-day event, and
approximately sixty people attended the Workshop. Part of the
workshop were panels around a selected subset of the
submissions, part was organized as open discussions.
https://www.w3.org/2012/12/global-publisher/references
Many of the issues raised during the discussions will provide
additional input to the work started by the W3C Digital
Publishing Interest Group, collecting specific technical
requirements of the publishing industry for the technologies of
the Open Web Platform. Furthermore, it was felt that an
additional activity on education and outreach may be necessary;
indeed, one of the challenges of the Publishing Industry
overall is to improve technical expertise in-house, also
covering the new possibilities offered by the Open Web Platform
(e.g., advanced CSS control for complex typography, or
interactivity of electronic books provided by scripting), as
well as the missing contacts the industry may have with Web
Designers and Web Application Developers. It was also felt that
W3C should continue to establish liaisons with various industry
organizations in the area, and also to reach out to librarians
and archivists to collaborate on, for example, the metadata
issues of the publishing industry. We anticipate new actions in
those areas in the months to come.

W3C Workshop Report: Social Standards: The Future of Business
Workshop
1 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3256
W3C published today the final report of the August Social
Standards: The Future of Business Workshop, organized jointly
with the OpenSocial Foundation. W3C thanks AppFusions for
hosting the event, and IBM and the Open Mobile Alliance for
their sponsorship.
http://www.w3.org/2013/socialweb/report
http://www.w3.org/2013/socialweb/
This Workshop provided a way for the social business and
technical community to create a roadmap for standardizing the
currently fragmented social landscape in order to make social a
first-class part of the Open Web Platform. Participants
discussed how social can revolutionize the enterprise and next
steps for technologies such as OpenSocial and ActivityStreams,
both of which are in early stages of revision. This workshop
was the culmination of the activity of the Social Business
Community Group.
http://www.w3.org/community/socbizcg/
Participants of the Workshop agreed that W3C should create a
Working Group defining standards around social, ranging from
APIs to profile federation, as well as a community group around
property graphs. Collaboration with the OpenSocial Foundation,
Open Mobile Alliance, ActivityStreams community, and many other
groups in order will be one of the keys to creating the next
generation of standards for the social web. We anticipate one
or more draft charters will be available in the coming weeks.

[] 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.
