Performance Timeline and User Timing are W3C Recommendations
12 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3509
The Web Performance Working Group has published two
Recommendations today.
http://www.w3.org/2010/webperf/
* Performance Timeline, which defines an unified interface to
store and retrieve performance metric data. This
specification does not cover individual performance metric
interfaces.
* User Timing, which defines an interface to help web
developers measure the performance of their applications by
giving them access to high precision timestamps.

Call for Review: Progress Events
12 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3506
The Web Applications (WebApps) Working Group has published
today a Proposed Recommendation of "Progress Events." The
specification defines an event interface that can be used for
measuring progress; e.g. HTTP entity body transfers. This
specification is primarily meant to be used by other
specifications. The deadline for review and comments is 17
January 2014. Learn more about the Rich Web Clients Activity.

Last Call: XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 3.0
12 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3504
The XSLT Working Group has published today a Last Call Working
Draft of "XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 3.0." This
specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT 3.0, a
language for transforming XML documents into other XML
documents. A transformation in the XSLT language is expressed
in the form of a stylesheet, whose syntax is well-formed XML.
Comments are welcome by 10 February 2014. Learn more about the
Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

W3C Launches New Data Activity
11 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3497
Today W3C launched a new Data Activity to lead the Web to a new
level of data interoperability. The Activity includes two new
groups:
http://www.w3.org/2013/data/
* CSV on the Web Working Group, whose mission is to provide
technologies whereby data dependent applications on the Web
can provide higher interoperability when working with
datasets using the CSV (Comma-Separated Values) or similar
formats.
* Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group, whose mission
is (1) to develop the open data ecosystem, facilitating
better communication between developers and publishers; (2)
to provide guidance to publishers that will improve
consistency in the way data is managed, thus promoting the
re-use of data; (3) to foster trust in the data among
developers, whatever technology they choose to use,
increasing the potential for genuine innovation.
The Data Activity subsumes and expands upon the work done in
the Semantic Web and eGovernment Activities. W3C will continue
to complete and enhance the Semantic Web in the light of
growing real-world experience and demands.

Last Call: DOM Parsing and Serialization
10 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3480
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "DOM Parsing and Serialization." This
specification defines various APIs for programmatic access to
HTML and generic XML parsers by web applications for use in
parsing and serializing DOM nodes. Comments are welcome by 7
January 2014. Learn more about the Rich Web Clients Activity.

Online Symposium: Accessible E-Learning
10 December 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3478
Registration is now open for the online symposium on Accessible
E-Learning to be held on 16 December 2013. Researchers, tutors
and trainers, providers of online learning, developers of
Learning Content Management System (LCMS), users with
disabilities, and others are invited to participate. Symposium
participants will share e-learning experiences and research;
discuss different approaches to address accessibility issues in
e-learning contexts; and explore next steps to advance
accessibility in e-learning environments, including Massive
Open Online Courses (MOOCs). For details and registration, see
Accessible E-Learning: Online Symposium. Learn more about the
Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Workshops
* 2014-02-28 (28 FEB) – 2014-03-01 ( 1 MAR)
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.
* 2014-03-05 ( 5 MAR) – 2014-03-06 ( 6 MAR)
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.
* 2014-03-24 (24 MAR) – 2014-03-25 (25 MAR)
Workshop on Web Payments: How do you want to pay?
http://www.w3.org/2013/10/payments/
Paris, France
Hosted by the W3C France Office
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.
