Upcoming: Fourth W3C Web and TV Workshop: Web and TV Convergence
9 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3470
W3C announced a Fourth W3C Web and TV Workshop: Web and TV
Convergence, 12-13 March 2014, in Munich, Germany. The Workshop
is hosted by IRT.
https://www.w3.org/2013/10/tv-workshop/
The TV ecosystem is seeing large changes in terms of consumer
behavior, creator demographics and technical capabilities. The
effect on companies and organizations is profound leading to
individual and collaborative efforts to turn challenges into
opportunities. Since 2010, three W3C workshops have been held
accompanied by active work in the Web and TV Interest Group as
well as other related groups. As the next generation of
challenges arise, this workshop aims to assist market players
in two main areas:
1. Identifying the priorities for Web and television
convergence and advising W3C on where to focus its efforts;
2. Strengthening cooperation between those involved in the
development of standards to avoid confusion and duplication
of work.
Based on the success of previous similar workshops, we
anticipate participation from broadcast and media companies,
browser and software vendors (including embedded browsers),
cable operators, content developers and providers, IPTV
providers, multiple-system operators (MSOs), network providers
and telecommunications companies, service vendors of cloud
computing, standardization organizations related to Web and TV,
television operators (broadcast, cable, satellite) and VOD
operators. We intend the workshop to benefit the global media
audience by resulting in such developments as new
standardization work, best practices and renewed commitments.
W3C membership is not required to participate. The event is
open to all, but all participants are required to submit a
position paper or statement of interest by 3 February 2014.

Upcoming: W3C Workshop on Web Payments: How do you want to pay?
6 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3466
W3C announced a Workshop on Web Payments: How do you want to
pay?, 24-25 March 2014, in Paris (France). The event is hosted
by the W3C France Office.
http://www.w3.org/2013/10/payments/
This workshop seeks to make it easier to monetize open Web
applications, as an effective alternative to proprietary native
app ecosystems. In essence, we would like to improve the end
user experience and give users greater freedom in how they pay,
to reduce the burden on developers and merchants, and to create
a level playing field for competing payment solutions providers
large and small. We are expecting broad participation from
financial institutions, governments, mobile network operators,
payment solution providers, technology companies, retailers,
content creators, and non-governmental organizations. The
workshop will seek to establish a broad roadmap for work on
open standards for Web payments, along with proposals for
initial small steps along the road. We thank Telefónica and
Worldline for agreeing to co-chair the Workshop. W3C membership
is not required to participate. The event is open to all. All
participants are required to submit a position paper by 8
February 2014.
Call for Review: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing Proposed
Recommendation Published
5 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3463
The Web Applications (WebApps) Working Group and the Web
Application Security (WebAppSec) Working Group have published
today a Proposed Recommendation of "Cross-Origin Resource
Sharing." This document defines a mechanism to enable
client-side cross-origin requests. Specifications that enable
an API to make cross-origin requests to resources can use the
algorithms defined by this specification. If such an API is
used on http://example.org resources, a resource on
http://hello-world.example can opt in using the mechanism
described by this specification (e.g., specifying
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://example.org as response
header), which would allow that resource to be fetched
cross-origin from http://example.org. Comments are welcome
through 14 January 2014. Learn more about the Security Activity
and the Rich Web Clients Activity.

5 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3455
The CSS Working Group has republished a Working Draft of "CSS
Object Model (CSSOM)." CSSOM defines APIs (including generic

Last Call: CSS Shapes Module Level 1
3 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3457
The CSS Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft
of "CSS Shapes Module Level 1." CSS Shapes describe geometric
shapes for use in CSS. For Level 1, CSS Shapes can be applied
to floats. A circle shape on a float will cause inline content
to wrap around the circle shape instead of the float’s bounding
box. Comments are welcome by 7 January 2014. Learn more about
the Style Activity.

Last Call: High Resolution Time Level 2
3 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3453
The Web Performance Working Group has published a First Public
Last Call Working Draft of "High Resolution Time Level 2."
This specification defines a JavaScript interface that provides
the current time in sub-millisecond resolution and such that it
is not subject to system clock skew or adjustments. Comments
are welcome by 8 January 2014. Learn more about the Rich Web
Clients Activity.

W3C/IAB workshop on Strengthening the Internet Against
Pervasive Monitoring (STRINT)
http://www.w3.org/2014/strint/
London, England
The Vancouver IETF plenary concluded that pervasive
monitoring represents an attack on the Internet. Pervasive
monitoring targets protocol data that we also need for
network manageability and security. This data is captured
and correlated with other data. There is an open problem as
to how to enhance protocols so as to maintain network
manageability and security but still limit data capture and
correlation.
The overall goal of the workshop is to steer IETF and W3C
work so as to be able to improve or "strengthen" the
Internet in the face of pervasive monitoring. A workshop
report in the form of an IAB RFC will be produced after the
event.

Linking Geospatial Data
http://www.w3.org/2014/03/lgd/
London
Co-organized by the UK Government, Ordnance Survey, the OGC
and Google.
Many data-driven applications have geospatial information
at their core. Very often the common factor across multiple
data sets is the location data, and maps are crucial in
visualizing correlations between data sets that may
otherwise be hidden. How can geographic information best be
integrated with other data on the Web? How can we discover
that different facts in different data sets relate to the
same place, especially when 'place' can be expressed in
different ways and at different levels of granularity? It's
this desire to work with multiple data sets in different
formats about different topics and link those with the
powerful technologies used in geospatial information
systems that is behind the linking geospatial data
workshop.

Fourth W3C Web and TV Workshop: Web and TV Convergence
https://www.w3.org/2013/10/tv-workshop/
Munich, Germany
Hosted by IRT
With HTML5 well on its way to standardization in 2014, and
a new effort on HTML 5.1 recently launched, it is time to
have fresh look at the current state of the art in order to
identify remaining roadblocks for the use of Web technology
in broadcasting and the TV industry. The goal of this
workshop is to assemble key players from TV and the Web
industry to discuss the important questions of Web and TV
convergence, and how standardization can help across the
globe.
