Published
23 April 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4644>
The Internationalization Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Language Tags and Locale Identifiers for the World
Wide Web." This document describes the best practices for
identifying or selecting the language of content as well as the
the locale preferences used to process or display data values
and other information on the Web. It describes how document
formats, specifications, and implementations should handle
language tags, as well as extensions to language tags that
describe the cultural or linguistic preferences referred to in
internationalization as a “locale”. Learn more about the
Internationalization Activity.

Linked Data Platform 1.0 Primer Note Published
23 April 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4646>
The Linked Data Platform (LDP) Working Group has published a
Group Note of "Linked Data Platform 1.0 Primer." This primer
provides an introduction to the Linked Data Platform (LDP),
with examples illustrating the principal concepts such as the
notion of an LDP resource, and the LDP container and how they
can be used by Web clients. Two sample scenarios show how an
LDP client can interact with an LDP server in the context of a
read-write Linked Data application, i.e. how to use HTTP for
accessing, updating, creating and deleting resources from
servers that expose their resources as Linked Data. Learn more
about the Data Activity.

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 4." CSS
is a language for describing the rendering of structured
documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in

possible with existing implementations.
