W3C Launches Web Payments Initiative
15 October 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4138
W3C announced today a new Web Payments Initiative to integrate
payments seamlessly into the Open Web Platform. W3C calls upon
all industry stakeholders –banks, credit card companies,
governments, mobile network operators, payment solution
providers, technology companies, retailers, and content
creators– to join the new Payments Interest Group and leverage
the unique ability of the Web to bridge ecosystem diversity and
reach users everywhere, on any device. The result will be new
business opportunities, an improved user experience for online
transactions, reduced fraud, and increased interoperability
among traditional solutions and future payment innovations.

including Bloomberg, Gemalto, GRIN Technologies, Ingenico
Group, NACS, Rabobank, and Yandex.

Seven Group Notes Published by the CSS Working Group
14 October 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4135
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published
seven Group Notes today, on specifications that at this time,
the group does not envisage further work on.
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members
* CSS TV Profile 1.0. This specification defines a subset of
Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 and CSS3 module: Color
specifications tailored to the needs and constraints of TV
devices.
* CSS Presentation Levels Module. Presentation levels are
integer values attached to elements in a document. Elements
that are below, at, or above a certain threshold can be
styled differently. This feature has two compelling use
cases. First, slide presentations with transition effects
can be described. For example, list items can be
progressively revealed by sliding in from the side. Second,
outline views of documents, where only the headings to a
certain level are visible, can be generated.
* CSS Mobile Profile 2.0. This specification defines in
general a subset of CSS 2.1 that is to be considered a
baseline for interoperability between implementations of
CSS on constrained devices (e.g. mobile phones). Its intent
is not to produce a profile of CSS incompatible with the
complete specification, but rather to ensure that
implementations that due to platform limitations cannot
support the entire specification implement a common subset
that is interoperable not only amongst constrained
implementations but also with complete ones. Additionally,
this specification aligns itself as much as possible with
the OMA Wireless CSS 1.1 specification. At the same time,
OMA is doing alignment work in OMA Wireless CSS 1.2. It is
aimed at aligning the mandatory compliance items between
CSS Mobile Profile 2.0 and OMA Wireless CSS 1.2.
* CSS Marquee Module Level 3. This Note replaces a draft
specification for CSS features relating to a “marquee”
effect.
* Behavioral Extensions to CSS. This Note replaces a proposal
for features in CSS that allow to bind “behaviors” to the
elements of a document. A “behavior” is defined by a URL
and typically points to an object (in a language such as
XBL) that defines its own appearance and user interaction.
Such a binding allows, e.g. to replace an element by a
complex user interface control.
* CSS3 Hyperlink Presentation Module. This note replaces a
draft specification for CSS features related to different
ways of presenting hypertext.
* The CSS ‘Reader’ Media Type. This note replaces a draft
specification for a media type called ‘reader’, for
targeting style sheets at devices that are able to
synchronously speak and display text.

Data on the Web Best Practices Use Cases & Requirements Draft
Published
14 October 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4133
The Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group has published
a Working Draft of "Data on the Web Best Practices Use Cases &
Requirements." This document lists use cases, compiled by the
Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group, that represent
scenarios of how data is commonly published on the Web and how
it is used. This document also provides a set of requirements
derived from these use cases that will be used to guide the
development of the set of Data on the Web Best Practices and
the development of two new vocabularies: Quality and
Granularity Description Vocabulary and Data Usage Description
Vocabulary. Learn more about the Data 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.
