   the locale preferences used to process or display data values

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 Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
   Draft of "Clipboard API and events." This specification

   possible with existing implementations.
