wd=linked-data-platform-1-0-is-a-w3c-recommendation
The Linked Data Platform (LDP) Working Group has published a
W3C Recommendation of "Linked Data Platform 1.0." “Linked
Data” refers to an approach to publishing data that puts
linking at the heart of the notion of data, and uses the
linking technologies provided by the Web to enable the weaving
of a global distributed database. This specification defines a
set of rules for HTTP operations on Web resources, some based
on RDF, to provide an architecture for read-write Linked Data
on the Web. Learn more about the Data Activity.

wd=two-security-first-public-working-drafts-published
The Web Application Security Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "Content Security Policy Pinning." This
document defines a new HTTP header that allows authors to
instruct user agents to remember (“pin”) and enforce a Content
Security Policy for a set of hosts for a period of time. Learn
more about the Security Activity.

The group also published a Working Draft of "Upgrade Insecure
Requests." This document defines a mechanism which allows
authors to instruct a user agent to upgrade a priori insecure
resource requests to secure transport before Fetching them.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Working Group
today published updates of two Notes that accompany WCAG 2.0:
"Understanding WCAG 2.0" and "Techniques for WCAG 2.0." This
is not an update to WCAG 2.0, which is a stable document. The
WCAG guidelines and success criteria are designed to be broadly
applicable to current and future web technologies, including
dynamic applications, mobile, digital television, etc. The
supporting resources published today provide specific guidance
— including code examples, resources, and tests — and are
updated periodically to cover current practices for meeting
WCAG. For an introduction to the WCAG documents, see the WCAG
Overview. Read about the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

First Public Working Draft: SVG Accessibility API Mappings 1.0

wd=first-public-working-draft-svg-accessibility-api-mappings-1-
0-svg-aam
"SVG Accessibility API Mappings 1.0" (SVG-AAM) was published
today as a First Public Working Draft by the Protocols and
Formats Working Group and SVG Working Group. This specification
allows SVG authors to create accessible rich internet
applications, including charts, graphs, and other drawings. It
provides SVG-specific guidance to define how the SVG user agent
must respond to keyboard focus, native SVG features, and role,
state, and property attributes provided in web content via
WAI-ARIA . SVG-AAM is the first technology-specific module that
provides accessibility API mapping support for features in
WAI-ARIA 1.1; other technology-specific mappings will follow.

Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

First Public Working Draft: Mobile Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and
Other W3C/WAI Guidelines Apply

"Mobile Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and Other W3C/WAI
Guidelines Apply to Mobile" was published today as a First
Public Working Draft by the Mobile Accessibility Task Force, a
joint Task Force of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Working Group (WCAG WG) and the User Agent Accessibility
Guidelines Working Group (UAAG WG). This document describes how
WCAG 2.0 principles, guidelines, and success criteria apply to
mobile web content, mobile web apps, native apps, and hybrid
apps using web components inside native apps. It provides
guidance on mobile accessibility issues — such as small screen
size, touch target size, zoom, gestures — and how they relate
to WCAG 2.0. It links to a list of existing WCAG Techniques
that apply to mobile.

http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/
http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/
The document also highlights the relevance of UAAG 2.0 and ATAG
2.0 in the mobile context, and links to UAAG 2.0 mobile
accessibility examples. This document provides informative
guidance, and does not set requirements. It may become a W3C
Working Group Note, or the information may be integrated into
"WCAG Techniques" and "Understanding WCAG." (It will not
impact WCAG 2.0 itself; WCAG 2.0 is a stable standard that does
not change.) For information on W3C WAI’s broader work related
to mobile accessibility, see Mobile Accessibility. Learn more
about the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Basic User Interface Module Level 3 (CSS3
UI)." This specification describes user interface related
selectors, properties and values that are proposed for CSS
level 3 to style HTML and XML (including XHTML). It includes
and extends user interface related features from the selectors,
properties and values of CSS level 2 revision 1 and Selectors
specifications. It uses various selectors, properties and
values to style basic user interface elements in a document.

Pointer Events is a W3C Recommendation

wd=pointer-events-is-a-w3c-recommendation
The Pointer Events Working Group has published a W3C
Recommendation of "Pointer Events." The Pointer Events
specification defines a unified set of events and interfaces
for device-neutral pointer input, such as a mouse, touchscreen,
and pen-tablet, including capabilities for handling pointer
pressure, contact geometry, and tilt; it also defines a mapping
to traditional mouse events. This specification provides
additional functionality not available in the related "Touch
Events" specification; for more information on the relationship
between these two specifications, see the Touch Events
Community Group. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Data on the Web Best Practices First Draft Published

http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4428?pk_campaign=feed&pk_k
wd=data-on-the-web-best-practices-first-draft-published
The Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group has published
a First Public Working Draft of "Data on the Web Best
Practices," to encourage and enable the continued expansion of
the Web as a medium for the exchange of data. Data should be
discoverable and understandable by humans and machines. Where
data is used in some way, whether by the originator of the data
or by an external party, such usage should also be discoverable
and the efforts of the data publisher recognized. In short,
following these best practices will facilitate interaction
between publishers and consumers.
http://www.w3.org/2013/dwbp/
http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-dwbp-20150224/
The group also published today a Group Note of "Data on the Web
Best Practices Use Cases & Requirements" with 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
Best Practices document and also two new vocabularies: Quality
and Granularity Description, and Data Usage Description. Learn
more about the Data Activity.
