First Public Working Drafts: Post Type Discovery and JF2 Post Serialization Format

   28 July 2016
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5709>

   The Social Web Working Group has published two Working Drafts:

   <https://www.w3.org/Social/WG>
     * Post Type Discovery: Post Type Discovery specifies an algorithm for determining the type of a post by what properties it has and potentially what value(s) they have, which helps avoid the need for explicit post types that are being abandoned by modern post creation UIs.
     * JF2 Post Serialization Format: This document describes a JSON serialization format to describe simple streams of data as well as single objects of data for data transfer and processing.

Final Working Draft of WAI-ARIA 1.1

First Public Working Draft: Linked Data Notifications

   26 July 2016
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5704>

   The Social Web Working Group has published a Working Draft of "Linked Data Notifications." Linked Data Notifications is a specialized use of Linked Data Platform (LDP) for sending and consuming notifications. It is not dependent on a complete implementation of LDP, but an easy-to-implement subset. This specification describes the particular features necessary to make it easy to exchange notifications in a decentralised, interoperable way.

       Hosted by Samsung
       The Workshop will look at the intersection of Web and Virtual Reality technologies. It aims at enabling the sharing of experiences between practitioners of the field, discuss existing gaps in the Web platform that make some Virtual Reality use cases difficult or impossible in browsers today, and explore what future standards are needed to pave the way for the Web to be one of the major VR platforms.

       Amsterdam
       CWI with support from the VRE4EIC project
       The workshop will cover a variety of related issues: how to manage a vocabulary in a collaborative environment, how to define an application profile for human and machine consumption, how to request data using a specific profile and, as a prime example of all this - experiences of using "DCAT" that might lead to its extension.
