W3C Updates Recommendation Track Process
5 August 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4004
W3C enacted today the 1 August 2014 W3C Process Document. This
revision updates the chapter that defines the Recommendation
Track, the steps and requirements followed by W3C Working
Groups to standardize Web technology. The W3C technical report
development process is designed to support multiple
specification development methodologies: maximize consensus
about the content of stable technical reports; ensure high
technical and editorial quality; promote consistency among
specifications; facilitate royalty-free, interoperable
implementations of Web Standards; and earn endorsement by W3C
and the broader community. The primary change to the
Recommendation Track is to merge “Last Call” and “Candidate
Recommendation.” A Process Transition FAQ lists other changes
to the Recommendation Track, explains the two-year transition
plan for adoption by groups, describes the relation to the W3C
Patent Policy, and more.

This document was developed between the W3C Advisory Board and
the public Revising W3C Process Community Group.

Workshop Report: W3C Workshop on the Web of Things
8 August 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4014
W3C published today the final report of the W3C Workshop on the
Web of Things that was held on 25-26 June 2014, in Berlin
(Germany).
http://www.w3.org/2014/02/wot/report
http://www.w3.org/2014/02/wot/
The workshop examined the opportunities for open Web standards
for service platforms in the network edge and the cloud, along
with the challenges for security, privacy and the integration
with the Web of data.
The workshop gave a strong message of support for W3C to
initiate work on standardization for the Web of Things. The
foundations include RESTful HTTP and pub-sub protocols, but the
detailed requirements vary across the use cases. Building upon
these foundations, the workshop identified the need for
standards for Web APIs that abstract away from the protocols,
including the wide range of IoT technologies used at the
network edge to connect to sensors and actuators. Through
standardization, we can encourage re-use of APIs and data
models.
The W3C staff will drive the process of chartering an Interest
Group through reaching out to a wide range of interested
stakeholders. Initial ideas for the scope are included in the
workshop report.

Upcoming coordinated Workshop: Encouraging open data usage by
commercial developers
5 August 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3993
W3C and its European host, ERCIM, announce the report from the
first workshop in the Share-PSI 2.0 series. Share-PSI 2.0 is
the European network for the exchange of experience and ideas
around implementing open data policies in the public sector. It
brings together government departments, standards bodies,
academic institutions, commercial organisations, trade
associations and interest groups to identify what does and
doesn’t work, what is and isn’t practical, what can and can’t
be expected of different stakeholders.
http://www.w3.org/2013/share-psi/workshop/samos/report
http://www.w3.org/2013/share-psi/
In the first workshop, held as part of the 5th Annual Samos
Summit on ICT-enabled Governance, the focus was Uses of Open
Data Within Government for Innovation and Efficiency. The
report shows the many different strategies being adopted to
foster a culture of data sharing across the public sector
leading to significant efficiencies in operation, more
effective delivery of the public task, reduced corruption and
greater trust in important institutions like the police. From
Helsinki to Athens via Dublin and Zagreb, from Oslo to Madrid
via Tirana, Tenerife and Trentino – the public sector is making
smarter use of the Web.
http://samos-summit.org/
The Samos workshop also sets us up nicely for the next workshop
in the series. Taking place in Lisbon in the first week in
December, Encouraging open data usage by commercial developers
will be highly interactive with many facilitated discussions
and very few presentations.
http://www.w3.org/2013/share-psi/workshop/lisbon/
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 5 October 2014.
Share-PSI 2.0 is coordinated by W3C/ERCIM as part of the Data
Activity and is closely aligned with the Data on the Web Best
Practices Working Group.

CSS Ruby Layout Module Level 1 Draft Published
5 August 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3990
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Ruby Layout Module Level 1." “Ruby”, a
form of interlinear annotation, are short runs of text
alongside the base text. They are typically used in East Asian
documents to indicate pronunciation, or to provide a short
annotation. This module describes the rendering model and
formatting controls related to displaying ruby annotations in
CSS. 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.
