Call for Review: Server-Sent Events Proposed Recommendation Published
9 December 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4228
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Proposed
Recommendation of "Server-Sent Events." This specification
defines an API for opening an HTTP connection for receiving
push notifications from a server in the form of DOM events. The
API is designed such that it can be extended to work with other
push notification schemes such as Push SMS. Comments are
welcome through 6 January 2015. Learn more about the Rich Web
Client Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of Web Cryptography API
11 December 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4244
The Web Cryptography Working Group invites implementation of
the Candidate Recommendation of "Web Cryptography API." This
specification describes a JavaScript API for performing basic
cryptographic operations in web applications, such as hashing,
signature generation and verification, and encryption and
decryption. Additionally, it describes an API for applications
to generate and/or manage the keying material necessary to
perform these operations. Uses for this API range from user or
service authentication, document or code signing, and the
confidentiality and integrity of communications. Learn more
about the Security Activity.

First Public Working Draft: Web Annotation Data Model
11 December 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4238
The Web Annotation Working Group has published a First Public
Working Draft of "Web Annotation Data Model." Annotations are
typically used to convey information about a resource or
associations between resources. Simple examples include a
comment or tag on a single web page or image, or a blog post
about a news article. The Web Annotation Data Model
specification describes a structured model and format to enable
annotations to be shared and reused across different hardware
and software platforms. Learn more about the Digital Publishing
Activity.

Accessible Name and Description: Computation and API Mappings 1.1
First Public Working Draft; Core-AAM and WAI-ARIA 1.1 updated Working
Drafts
11 December 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4236
The Protocols and Formats Working Group today published a First
Public Working Draft of "Accessible Name and Description:
Computation and API Mappings 1.1" (AccName-AAM) and updated
Working Drafts of "Accessible Rich Internet Applications
(WAI-ARIA) 1.1" and "Core Accessibility API Mappings (Core-AAM)
1.1." WAI-ARIA provides an ontology of roles, states, and
properties that define accessible user interface elements. It
is designed to improve the accessibility and interoperability
of web content, particularly web applications. Core-AAM
describes how user agents should expose semantics of content
languages to accessibility APIs across multiple content
technologies (including much of WAI-ARIA) and serves as the
basis for other specifications to extend the mappings to
specific technologies. AccName-AAM describes how user agents
determine names and descriptions of accessible objects from web
content languages and expose them in accessibility APIs. Learn
more from the call for review e-mail and read about the Web
Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

W3C Invites Implementations of TTML Text and Image Profiles for
Internet Media Subtitles and Captions 1.0
9 December 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4230
The Timed Text Working Group invites implementation of the
Candidate Recommendation 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). Learn more
about the Video in the Web Activity.

URL specification; Clipboard API and events Working Drafts Published
9 December 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4226
The Web Applications Working Group has published two Working
Drafts today:
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/
* URL. The URL Standard defines URLs, domains, IP addresses,
the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format, and their
API.
* Clipboard API and events. This document describes APIs for
clipboard operations such as copy, cut and paste in web
applications.

9 December 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4222
The Device APIs Working Group invites implementation of the
Candidate Recommendation of "Battery Status API." This
specification defines an API that provides information about
the battery status of the hosting device. Learn more about the
Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.

Call for Review: Vibration API Proposed Recommendation Published
9 December 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4224
The Device APIs Working Group has published a Proposed
Recommendation of "Vibration API." This specification defines
an API that provides access to the vibration mechanism of the
hosting device. Vibration is a form of tactile feedback.
Comments are welcome through 20 January 2015. Learn more about
the Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.
