Upcoming Workshop: Digital Marketing
13 March 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4489>
W3C announced today the W3C Workshop on Digital Marketing,
29-30 April 2015, in Tampa, Florida (USA). The event is hosted
by Nielsen.
<http://www.w3.org/2015/01/digital-marketing-workshop>
Digital Marketing and the ecosystem surrounding it are growing
at an unprecedented pace as consumers take advantage of new
devices, features, and content on the Web; our core focus. 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.
Our goal is to better understand which changes to the Open Web
Platform would help improve interoperability, increase
efficiencies, enable new innovations, and enhance
communications. Topics of discussion include Security, and
interaction with security measures; Data-gathering and
measurement; performance, etc. W3C membership is not required
to participate. The event is open to all. All participants are
required to submit a position paper by 6 April 2015.
W3C Invites Implementations of XQuery and XPath Full Text 3.0;
Supporting Requirements and Use Cases Draft Updated
12 March 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4474>
The XML Query Working Group and the XSLT Working Group invite
implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of "XQuery and
XPath Full Text 3.0." The Full Text specification extends the
XPath and XQuery languages to support fast and efficient full
text searches over arbitrarily large collections of documents.
This release brings the Full Text specification up to date with
XQuery 3.0 and XPath 3.0; the language itself is unchanged.

<http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/>
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-xpath-full-text-30-20150312/>
Both groups also published an updated Working Draft of "XQuery
and XPath Full Text 3.0 Requirements and Use Cases." This
document specifies requirements and use cases for Full-Text
Search for use in XQuery 3.0 and XPath 3.0. The goal of XQuery
and XPath Full Text 3.0 is to extend XQuery and XPath Full Text
1.0 with additional functionality in response to requests from
users and implementors.
