XQuery 3.0, XPath 3.0, XQueryX 3.0, XDM 3.0, Serialization 3.0,
Functions and Operators 3.0 are now W3C Recommendations
10 April 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3773
The XML Query Working Group published "XQuery 3.0: An XML Query
Language," along with "XQueryX," an XML representation for
XQuery, both as W3C Recommendations, as well as the "XQuery 3.0
Use Cases" and "Requirements" as final Working Group Notes.
XQuery extends the XPath language to provide efficient search
and manipulation of information represented as trees from a
variety of sources.

The XML Query Working Group and XSLT Working Group also jointly
published W3C Recommendations of "XML Path Language (XPath)
3.0," a widely-used language for searching and pointing into
tree-based structures, together with "XQuery and XPath Data
Model 3.0" which defines those structures, "XPath and XQuery
Functions and Operators 3.0" which provides facilities for use
in XPath, XQuery, XSLT and a number of other languages, and
finally the "XSLT and XQuery Serialization 3.0" specification
giving a way to turn values and XDM instances into text, HTML
or XML.

XML Entity Definitions for Characters (2nd Edition), and Mathematical
Markup Language (MathML) Version 3.0 2nd Edition are W3C
Recommendations
10 April 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3783
The Math Working Group has published two W3C Recommendations
today:
http://www.w3.org/Math/
* XML Entity Definitions for Characters (2nd Edition). This
document defines several sets of names, so that to each
name is assigned a Unicode character or sequence of
characters. Each of these sets is expressed as a file of
XML entity declarations.
* Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 3.0 2nd
Edition. This specification defines the Mathematical Markup
Language, or MathML. MathML is a markup language for
describing mathematical notation and capturing both its
structure and content. The goal of MathML is to enable
mathematics to be served, received, and processed on the
World Wide Web, just as HTML has enabled this functionality
for text.

W3C Track at WWW2014 in Seoul
9 April 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3777
[] At this year’s 23rd International World Wide Web Conference
(WWW2014), W3C organizes W3C tutorial and W3C tracks where
conference participants are invited to learn from, meet and
discuss with our team of experts. With the conference located
in Korea, the W3C track sessions also cater specifically for
the Korean industry. The presentations and discussions are
about Web Cryptography, Web Publishing, Web & TV, and Web
accessibility. W3C and Tim Berners-Lee will dedicate the last
W3C track session to the Web 25th birthday; ideas for the Web
came and are still coming from the WWW conference series, thus
we will give the floor to the audience and ask conference
participants how they see the Web evolving in the next 25
years. So, come and discuss!

MBUI: Abstract User Interface Models, and Task Models Notes Published
8 April 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3771
The Model-Based User Interfaces Working Group has published two
Group Notes today:
http://www.w3.org/2011/mbui/
* 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.
* MBUI – Task Models. Task models are useful when designing
and developing interactive systems. They describe the
logical activities that have to be carried out in order to
reach the user’s goals. This document covers the
specification of Task Models, with a meta-model expressed
in UML, and an XML Schema that can be used as the basis for
interchange of Task Models between different user interface
development tools.

CSS Line Grid Module Level 1, and CSS Scoping Module Level 1 Drafts
Published
3 April 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3769
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published
two Working Drafts today:
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members
* CSS Line Grid Module Level 1. This module contains CSS
features for aligning content to a baseline grid.
* CSS Scoping Module Level 1. This specification defines
various scoping/encapsulation mechanisms for CSS, including
scoped styles and the @scope rule, Shadow DOM selectors,
and page/region-based styling.
CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured
documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in
speech, etc. Learn more about the Style Activity.

Review of apps that use network information Note Published
3 April 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3767
The Web and Mobile Interest Group has published a Group Note of
"Review of apps that use network information." The web
platform currently lacks a means of exposing network-related
information to web applications. Network information includes,
but is not limited to, the type of network connection currently
in use by a device (e.g., cellular, Wi-Fi, etc.). It can also
include information such as the system notifying the
application when the type of connection changes from one type
to another (e.g., from cellular to Wi-Fi). Learn more about the
Mobile Web Initiative Activity.

Vocabularies for EmotionML Note Published
1 April 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3764
The Multimodal Interaction Working Group has published a Group
Note of "Vocabularies for EmotionML." This document provides a
list of emotion vocabularies that can be used with EmotionML to
represent emotions and related states. EmotionML provides
mechanisms to represent emotions in terms of scientifically
valid descriptors: categories, dimensions, appraisals, and
action tendencies. Given the lack of agreement in the
community, EmotionML does not provide a single vocabulary of
emotion terms, but gives users a choice to select the most
suitable emotion vocabulary in their annotations. In order to
promote interoperability, publicly defined vocabularies should
be used where possible and reasonable from the point of view of
the target application. The present document provides a number
of emotion vocabularies that can be used for this purpose.

Workshops
* 2014-05-07 ( 7 MAY) – 2014-05-08 ( 8 MAY)
Seventh MultilingualWeb Workshop: New Horizons for the
Multilingual Web
http://www.multilingualweb.eu/documents/2014-madrid-worksho
p/2014-madrid-cfp
Madrid, Spain
Hosted by UPM
As with previous MultilingualWeb events, this workshop will
bring together speakers and participants with an interest
in best practices and standards aimed at helping content
creators, localizers, tools developers, and others meet the
challenges of the multilingual Web. This workshop will
emphasize new technology developments that may lead to new
opportunities for the Multilingual Web. A unique
proposition of the workshop is that it brings together
speakers and provides opportunities for networking across a
wide range of communities to produce a holistic view of the
problems faced in developing and deploying multilingual
content and applications on the Web.
* 2014-06-25 (25 JUN) – 2014-06-26 (26 JUN)
Workshop on the Web of Things
http://www.w3.org/2014/02/wot/
Berlin, Germany
Hosted by Siemens
Participants in this workshop will examine the potential
for open standards as a basis for services, either between
devices, at the network edge, e.g. in home hubs, or in the
cloud. They will discuss the use of web protocols and
scripting languages for implementing services, the need for
APIs for implementing drivers for specific IoT
technologies, a shared approach to describing services as a
basis for interoperability, and the underlying use of
HTTP/COAP, Web Sockets, and EXI/JSON for RESTful services.
