CSS Style Attributes is a W3C Recommendation
7 November 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3417
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
W3C 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. Learn more about the Style Activity.

MBUI Abstract User Interface Models Draft Published
8 November 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3421
The Model-Based User Interfaces Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "MBUI – Abstract User Interface Models."
Model-Based User Interface Design facilitates interchange of
designs through a layered approach that separates out different
levels of abstraction in user interface design. This document
covers the specification of Abstract User Interface Models, by
defining its semantics through a meta-model, and an interchange
syntax (expressed as XML Schema) for exchanging Abstract User
Interface Models between different user interface development
environments. Learn more about the Ubiquitous Web Applications
Activity.

RDF 1.1 JSON Alternate Serialization (RDF/JSON) Note Published
7 November 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3404
The RDF Working Group has published a Group Note of "RDF 1.1
JSON Alternate Serialization (RDF/JSON)." The Resource
Description Framework (RDF) is a framework for representing
information in the Web. This document defines a textual syntax
for RDF called RDF/JSON that allows an RDF graph to be
completely written in a form compatible with the JavaScript
Object Notation (JSON) and alternative to the one recommended
in JSON-LD. The syntax defined in this document should not be
used unless there is a specific reason to do so. Use of JSON-LD
is recommended. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.

Web Applications Working Group updated Streams API, Quota Management
API, DOM Level 3 Events Specification, and UI Events
6 November 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3385
The Web Applications Working Group has published four Working
Drafts:
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/
* Streams API. This specification provides an API for
representing binary data and string data in web
applications as a Stream object, as well as
programmatically building and reading its contents. This
includes a Stream, a StreamConsumeResult and a
StreamReadType interfaces, extensions to XMLHttpRequest and
to URL.createObjectURL and URL.revokeObjectURL. This API is
designed to be used in conjunction with other APIs and
elements on the web platform, notably: File,
XMLHttpRequest, postMessage, and Web Workers.
* Quota Management API. This specification defines an API to
manage usage and availability of local storage resources,
and defines a means by which a user agent (UA) may grant
Web applications permission to use more local space,
temporarily or persistently, via various different storage
APIs.
* Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification.
This specification defines the Document Object Model Events
Level 3, a generic platform- and language-neutral event
system which allows registration of event handlers,
describes event flow through a tree structure, and provides
basic contextual information for each event. The Document
Object Model Events Level 3 builds on the Document Object
Model Events Level 2.
* UI Events. This specification extends the events and
features defined in DOM Events Level 3.

W3C Invites Implementations of five Candidate Recommendations for
version 1.1 of the Resource Description Framework (RDF)
5 November 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3389
The RDF Working Group today published five Candidate
Recommendations for version 1.1 of the Resource Description
Framework (RDF), a widespread and stable technology for data
interoperability:
http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/
* RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax defines the basics
which underly all RDF syntaxes and systems. It provides for
general data interoperability.
* RDF 1.1 Semantics defines the precise semantics of RDF
data, supporting use with a wide range of “semantic” or
“knowledge” technologies.
* RDF 1.1 N-Triples defines a simple line-oriented syntax for
serializing RDF data. N-Triples is a minimalist subset of
Turtle.
* RDF 1.1 TriG defines an extension to Turtle (aligned with
SPARQL) for handling multiple RDF Graphs in a single
document.
* RDF 1.1 N-Quads defines an extension to N-Triples for
handling multiple RDF Graphs in a single document.
All of these technologies are now stable and ready to be widely
implemented. Each specification (except Concepts) has an
associated Test Suite and includes a link to an Implementation
Report showing how various software currently fares on the
tests. If you maintain RDF software, please review these
specifications, update your software if necessary, and (if
relevant) send in test results as explained in the
Implementation Report.
RDF 1.1 is a refinement to the 2004 RDF specifications,
designed to simplify and improve RDF without breaking existing
deployments.

W3C Invites Implementations of Data Catalog Vocabulary (DCAT)
5 November 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3393
The Government Linked Data (GLD) Working Group today published
"the Data Catalog Vocabulary (DCAT)" as a Candidate
Recommendation. DCAT allows governmental and non-governmental
data catalogs to publish their entries in a standard
machine-readable format so they can be managed, aggregated, and
presented in other catalogs.
http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/
http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/CR-vocab-dcat-20131105/
Originally developed at DERI, DCAT has evolved with input from
a variety of stakeholders and is now stable and ready for
widespread use. If you have a collection of data sources,
please consider publishing DCAT metadata for it, and if you run
a data catalog or portal, please consider making use of DCAT
metadata you find. The Working Group is eager to receive
comments reports of use at public-gld-comments@w3.org and is
maintaining an Implementation Report.

Call for Review: JSON-LD 1.0, and JSON-LD 1.0 Processing Algorithms
and API
5 November 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3391
The RDF Working Group has published two Proposed
Recommendations today:
http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/
* JSON-LD 1.0. JSON is a useful data serialization and
messaging format. This specification defines JSON-LD, a
JSON-based format to serialize Linked Data. The syntax is
designed to easily integrate into deployed systems that
already use JSON, and provides a smooth upgrade path from
JSON to JSON-LD. It is primarily intended to be a way to
use Linked Data in Web-based programming environments, to
build interoperable Web services, and to store Linked Data
in JSON-based storage engines. Comments are welcome through
05 December.
* JSON-LD 1.0 Processing Algorithms and API. This
specification defines a set of algorithms for programmatic
transformations of JSON-LD documents. Restructuring data
according to the defined transformations often dramatically
simplifies its usage. Furthermore, this document proposes
an Application Programming Interface (API) for developers
implementing the specified algorithms. Comments are welcome
through 05 December.
