in Paris, France. W3C Member and non-Member participants will
include banks, credit card companies, governments, mobile
network operators, payment solution providers, technology
companies, retailers, and content creators. W3C’s Workshop goal
is to leverage the power of the Web to improve consumer payment
choice and satisfaction, while easing the work of web
developers to support all current and future payment solutions
and empowering payment providers to easily reach across
different solutions, devices and platforms. There is no
Workshop fee, but interested parties should submit a
presentation proposal or statement of interest to the Workshop
Program Committee by 8 February. Read the media advisory and

Standards for Web Applications on Mobile: current state and roadmap
3 February 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3623
[] W3C has published the January 2014 edition of Standards for
Web Applications on Mobile, an overview of the various
technologies developed in W3C that increase the capabilities of
Web applications, and how they apply more specifically to the
mobile context.
http://www.w3.org/2013/02/mobile-web-app-state/
http://www.w3.org/2014/01/mobile-web-app-state/
A deliverable of the HTML5Apps project, this edition of the
document includes changes and additions since September 2013,
including 6 documents reaching Recommendation status (a
record), which shows increased maturity of the platform; 4 FPWD
and 4 new editors drafts illustrate it is still growing up
nicely; and a lot of the changes are linked to performance,
off-line support and packaging.

Call for Review: XQueryX 3.0 Proposed Recommendation Published
30 January 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3619
The XML Query Working Group has published a Proposed
Recommendation of "XQueryX 3.0." XQueryX is an XML
representation of an XQuery. It was created by mapping the
productions of the XQuery grammar into XML productions. The
result is not particularly convenient for humans to read and
write, but it is easy for programs to parse, and because
XQueryX is represented in XML, standard XML tools can be used
to create, interpret, or modify queries. Comments are welcome
through 25 February 2014. Learn more about the Extensible
Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM):
Final Review Draft
30 January 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3618
A complete Working Draft of "Website Accessibility Conformance
Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) 1.0" was published today by
the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (WCAG
WG) and Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group (ERT WG),
through the joint WCAG 2.0 Evaluation Methodology Task Force
(Eval TF). WCAG-EM describes an approach for evaluating how
websites, including Web applications and websites for mobile
devices, conform to WCAG 2.0. Comments are welcome through 28
February 2014. After the comments from this review period are
addressed, WAI expects to publish this as an informative (that
is, non-normative) W3C Working Group Note. Learn more from the
WCAG-EM Overview and about the Web Accessibility Initiative
(WAI).

XMLHttpRequest Level 1 Draft Published
30 January 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3616
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "XMLHttpRequest Level 1." The XMLHttpRequest
specification defines an API that provides scripted client
functionality for transferring data between a client and a
server. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Updated Drafts of Tracking Preference Expression (DNT), and Tracking
Compliance and Scope
28 January 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3611
The Tracking Protection Working Group has published two
documents today.
http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/
* A Working Draft Tracking Preference Expression (DNT). This
specification defines the DNT request header field as an
HTTP mechanism for expressing the user’s preference
regarding tracking, an HTML DOM property to make that
expression readable by scripts, and APIs that allow scripts
to register site-specific exceptions granted by the user.
It also defines mechanisms for sites to communicate whether
and how they honor a received preference through use of the
Tk response header field and well-known resources that
provide a machine-readable tracking status.
* A Working Draft of Tracking Compliance and Scope. This
specification defines the meaning of a Do Not Track (DNT)
preference and sets out practices for websites to comply
with this preference.

Encoding Draft Published
28 January 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3609
The Internationalization Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Encoding." While encodings have been defined to some
extent, implementations have not always implemented them in the
same way, have not always used the same labels, and often
differ in dealing with undefined and former proprietary areas
of encodings. This specification attempts to fill those gaps so
that new implementations do not have to reverse engineer
encoding implementations of the market leaders and existing
implementations can converge. Learn more about the
Internationalization Activity.

WOFF 2.0 Evaluation Report Draft Published
28 January 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3607
The WebFonts Working Group has published a Working Draft of
"WOFF 2.0 Evaluation Report." Web Open Font Format (WOFF) 2.0
is a proposed update to the existing WOFF 1.0 with improved
compression. This report lists requirements for successful
deployment, evaluates how the requirement may be met, and
examines the compression gains and tradeoffs vs. code
complexity, encode and decode time. This document is
non-normative. Learn more about the Fonts Activity.

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 Ingenico
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.
* 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.
