W3C Turns 20
1 October 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4110
[] This month W3C celebrates its 20th anniversary. In a 1994
press release about the launch of W3C, Director Tim Berners-Lee
explained, “The decision to form the consortium came at the
urging of many firms investing increasing resources into the
Web, whether in creation of software products, selling
information, or for sharing information within their own
companies, with business partners and the public at large.”
Twenty years on, the W3C community is actively building an Open
Web Platform for application development that has the
unprecedented potential to enable developers to build
sophisticated interactive experiences that are available on any
device. Pursuing a vision of one Web available to all, 400
Members, thousands of individuals in Working and Interest
Groups, nearly 4500 people in Community and Business Groups,
and many more subscribed to public mailing lists power today’s
W3C community. W3C thanks all of you for 20 years of creating,
implementing, and supporting open standards for the Web.

Last Call: XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 3.0
2 October 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4120
The XSLT Working Group has published 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. A stylesheet is made up of one or
more well-formed XML documents conforming to the Namespaces in
XML Recommendation. Comments are welcome through 26 November.
Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Requirements for Latin Text Layout and Pagination Draft Published
30 September 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4106
The Digital Publishing Interest Group has published a Working
Draft of "Requirements for Latin Text Layout and Pagination."
This document describes requirements for pagination and layout
of books in latin languages, based on the tradition of print
book design and composition. It is hoped that these principles
can inform the pagination of digital content as well, and serve
as a reference for the CSS Working Group and other interested
parties. This work was inspired by the Requirements for
Japanese Text Layout. Learn more about the Digital Publishing
Activity.

Seeking Wide Review: TTML Text and Image Profiles for Internet Media
Subtitles and Captions 1.0
30 September 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4104
The Timed Text Working Group has published a Working Draft of
"TTML Text and Image Profiles for Internet Media Subtitles and
Captions 1.0." This document specifies two profiles of Timed
Text Markup Language 1: a text-only profile and an image-only
profile. These profiles are intended to be used across subtitle
and caption delivery applications worldwide, thereby
simplifying interoperability, consistent rendering and
conversion to other subtitling and captioning formats. The text
profile is a superset of TTML Simple Delivery Profile for
Closed Captions (US). The review period ends on 27 October
2014. Learn more about the Video in the Web Activity.

Workshops
* 2014-11-20 (20 NOV) – 2014-11-21 (21 NOV)
Workshop on Privacy and User–Centric Controls
https://www.w3.org/2014/privacyws/
Berlin, Germany
Hosted by Deutsche Telekom
Participants will investigate strategies toward better
privacy protection on the Web that are effective and lead
to benefits in the near term. This includes discussing
basic privacy UI features that will, on the long run,
create a user experience that loops with user expectations.
We expect certain controls and dashboards in a car. Perhaps
we can create a similar clarity for the privacy dashboard
of our devices.
The Workshop focus will be on users: user experience, user
behavior and how we can offer controls that provide the
necessary transparency of privacy-affecting interactions.
We will also discuss how developers can meet users' privacy
needs on the Web, including what APIs are necessary for
user privacy.
