Updated W3C Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (CEPC)
17 July 2020
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8641>
W3C today adopted a new Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (CEPC), developed by the Positive Work Environment Community Group. W3C’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct defines accepted and acceptable behaviors and promotes high standards of professional practice. The goals of this code are to:
<https://www.w3.org/Consortium/cepc/cepc-20200716/>
<https://www.w3.org/community/pwe/>
* Define acceptable and expected standards of behavior.
* Provide a benchmark.
* Ensure transparency in community and group management.
* Ensure an environment where people can participate without fear of harassment.
* Contribute to the identity of the organization.
This document supersedes the 2015 CEPC. Education and training materials are available from the Positive Work Environment public homepage.

20 July 2020
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8643>
The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AG WG) and the Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) Working Group request wide review of the Working Draft "“Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and Learning Disabilities”" from the Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force. We particularly request feedback on: Are any user needs or patterns missing or incorrect? and: Can any information be made easier to understand and implement? Comments are welcome through 4 September 2020.

JSON-LD 1.1 Specifications are W3C Recommendations
16 July 2020
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8636>
The JSON-LD Working Group has published the following specifications as W3C Recommendations:
<https://www.w3.org/2018/json-ld-wg/>
* JSON-LD 1.1—This specification defines JSON-LD 1.1, a JSON-based format to serialize Linked Data. The syntax is designed to easily integrate into deployed systems that already use JSON, and provides a smooth upgrade path from JSON to JSON-LD. It is primarily intended to be a way to use Linked Data in Web-based programming environments, to build interoperable Web services, and to store Linked Data in JSON-based storage engines.
* JSON-LD 1.1 Processing Algorithms and API—This specification defines a set of algorithms for programmatic transformations of JSON-LD documents. Restructuring data according to the defined transformations often dramatically simplifies its usage. Furthermore, this document proposes an Application Programming Interface (API) for developers implementing the specified algorithms.
* JSON-LD 1.1 Framing—This specification allows developers to query by example and force a specific tree layout to a JSON-LD document.
