   MathML 3.0 is the mark-up language used in software and
   development tools for statistical, engineering, scientific,
   computational and academic expressions of math on the Web.
   MathML 3.0 improves accessibility authoring capabilities and
   can now be used both on its own, as before, or embedded in
   HTML. For more information, see the press release and member

Web and Digital Marketing Convergence, a W3C Workshop

   25 June 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4784>

   W3C announced today Web and Digital Marketing Convergence, a
   W3C Workshop, 17-18 September 2015, in Tampa, Florida (USA).
   The event is hosted by Nielsen.

   <http://www.w3.org/2015/digital-marketing-workshop>

   Digital Marketing and the ecosystem surrounding it are growing
   at an unprecedented pace as consumers and companies take
   advantage of new devices, features, and content on the Web. As
   the Open Web Platform and technologies such as HTML5 continue
   to expand and offer new functionalities, brands, interactive
   marketers, content publishers and third party providers are
   calling W3C’s attention to gaps and challenges, which include a
   lack of standards on the definition and secure execution of,
   for example, marketing campaigns, advertising performance, data
   collection, and marketing signals.

   Our goal is to start conversations with technical
   representatives from the broad digital marketing industry and
   the open web community to better understand what changes to the
   Open Web Platform would help improve interoperability, increase
   efficiencies, enable new innovations, and enhance
   communications. W3C membership is not required to participate.
   The event is open to all. All participants are required to
   submit a position paper by 14 August 2015.

Service Workers Draft Published

   25 June 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4777>

   The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
   Draft of "Service Workers." This specification describes a
   method that enables applications to take advantage of
   persistent background processing, including hooks to enable
   bootstrapping of web applications while offline. The core of
   this system is an event-driven Web Worker, which responds to
   events dispatched from documents and other sources. A system
   for managing installation, versions, and upgrades is provided.
   The service worker is a generic entry point for event-driven
   background processing in the Web Platform that is extensible by
   other specifications. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
   Activity.

Data on the Web Best Practices Updated; Two Vocabularies as First
Public Working Drafts

   25 June 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4774>

   The Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group has published
   an update to its "best practice guide" along with first public
   working drafts of two vocabularies: one covering "Data Quality"
   and the other "Dataset Usage."

   <http://www.w3.org/2013/dwbp/>
   <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-dwbp-20150625/>
   <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-vocab-dqv-20150625/>
   <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-vocab-duv-20150625/>

   Together, they seek to create a Web-based ecosystem in which
   data is published intelligently so that it can be discovered
   and understood. Potential consumers will be able to assess
   whether or not the data is fit for a specific purpose and, if
   so, they may choose to describe their usage. This might be by
   means of feedback, citation, or through discovery metadata of
   their own.

   The working group is keen to receive feedback on all three
   documents both in terms of the specifics and the overall
   direction being taken. Learn more about the Data Activity.
