W3C Invites Implementations of WoT Thing Description and WoT Architecture

   16 May 2019
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7745>

   The Web of Things Working Group invites implementations of two Candidate Recommendations published today:

   <https://www.w3.org/WoT/WG/>
     * Web of Things (WoT) Thing Description: This document describes a formal model and common representation for a Web of Things Thing Description. A Thing Description describes the metadata and interfaces of Things, where a Thing is an abstraction of a physical entity that provides interactions to and participates in the Web of Things.
     * Web of Things (WoT) Architecture: This document describes the abstract architecture for the W3C Web of Things, which consists of three initial building blocks, i.e., (1) WoT Thing Description, (2) WoT Scripting API and (3) WoT Binding Templates.

W3C Invites Implementations of Trace Context

   9 May 2019
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7741>

   The Distributed Tracing Working Group invites implementations of "Trace Context" Candidate Recommendation. This specification defines standard headers and value format to propagate context information that enables distributed tracing scenarios. The specification standardizes how context information is sent and modified between services. Context information uniquely identifies individual requests in a distributed system and also defines a means to add and propagate provider-specific context information.
