CSV on the Web Use Cases and Requirements, and Model for Tabular Data
and Metadata Published
27 March 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3758
The CSV on the Web Working Group published two First Public
Working Drafts today:
http://www.w3.org/2013/csvw/
* The CSV on the Web: Use Cases and Requirements collects use
cases that are at the basis of the work of the Working
Group. A large percentage of the data published on the Web
is tabular data, commonly published as comma separated
values (CSV) files. The Working Group aim to specify
technologies that provide greater interoperability for data
dependent applications on the Web when working with tabular
datasets comprising single or multiple files using CSV, or
similar, format. This document lists a first set of use
cases compiled by the Working Group that are considered
representative of how tabular data is commonly used within
data dependent applications. The use cases observe existing
common practice undertaken when working with tabular data,
often illustrating shortcomings or limitations of existing
formats or technologies. This document also provides a
first set of requirements derived from these use cases that
have been used to guide the specification design.
* The Model for Tabular Data and Metadata on the Web outlines
a basic data model, or infoset, for tabular data and
metadata about that tabular data. The document contains
first drafts for various methods of locating metadata: one
of the output the Working Group is chartered for is to
produce a metadata vocabulary and standard method(s) to
find such metadata. It also contains some non-normative
information about a best practice syntax for tabular data,
for mapping into that data model, to contribute to the
standardisation of CSV syntax by IETF (as a possible update
of RFC4180).

Last Call: CSS Flexible Box Layout Module Level 1
25 March 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3753
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Last Call Working Draft of "CSS Flexible Box Layout Module
Level 1." The specification describes a CSS box model
optimized for user interface design. In the flex layout model,
the children of a flex container can be laid out in any
direction, and can “flex” their sizes, either growing to fill
unused space or shrinking to avoid overflowing the parent. Both
horizontal and vertical alignment of the children can be easily
manipulated. Nesting of these boxes (horizontal inside
vertical, or vertical inside horizontal) can be used to build
layouts in two dimensions. CSS is a language for describing the
rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on
screen, on paper, in speech, etc. Comments are welcome through
22 April 2014. Learn more about the Style Activity.

Navigation Timing 2 Draft Published
25 March 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3751
The Web Performance Working Group has published a Working Draft
of "Navigation Timing 2." This specification defines a unified
interface to store and retrieve high resolution performance
metric data related to the navigation of a document.
http://www.w3.org/2010/webperf/
http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-navigation-timing-2-20140325/
The Group also updated the Candidate Recommendation of
"Resource Timing," which defines an interface for web
applications to access the complete timing information for
resources in a document. The main change is that
onresourcetimingbufferfull is now an event handler instead of a
callback function. A diff document is available.

Last Call: Web Cryptography API
25 March 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3755
The Web Cryptography Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "Web Cryptography API." This JavaScript API
performs basic cryptographic operations in web applications,
such as hashing, signature generation and verification, and
encryption and decryption. Additionally, it describes how
applications can generate and/or manage the keying material
necessary to perform these operations. Comments are welcome
through 20 May 2014. Learn more about the Security Activity.

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.

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.
