Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0 is a W3C Recommendation

   19 July 2022
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9618>

   The Decentralized Identifier Working Group has published "Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0" as a W3C Recommendation.

   <https://www.w3.org/2019/did-wg/>
   <https://www.w3.org/TR/2022/REC-did-core-20220719/>

   This document defines Decentralized identifiers (DIDs), a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID identifies any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) that the controller of the DID decides that it identifies. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject. Each DID document can express cryptographic material, verification methods, or services, which provide a set of mechanisms enabling a DID controller to prove control of the DID. Please read our Press Release to learn more about this tool to empower everyone on the web with privacy-respecting online identity and consent-based data sharing.

Working Group Note: MathML Media-type Declarations

   25 July 2022
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9629>

   The Math Working Group has published "MathML Media-type Declarations" as a Group Note. Internet Media Types are used in email, HTTP and other places to indicate the format of documents. This Note contains media types for "MathML." They were previously published as part of the "MathML3 specification." The Note serves to give them a separate, stable address, as the MathML version 3 specification is replaced by version 4 and possibly other versions after that.

Working Group Note: Accessibility of Remote Meetings

   22 July 2022
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9625>

   The Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group has published "Accessibility of Remote Meetings" as a Group Note. It is a companion to the W3C resource: How to Make Your Presentations and Meetings Accessible to All. Remote meeting is an umbrella term used to describe real-time discussions or presentations held between two or more parties online. The issues faced by people with disabilities will vary depending on the implementation of accessibility requirements and current limitations of remote meeting software. While W3C has applicable guidance across several standards and Notes relating to real-time communication and XR, it is this level of complexity that this document endeavors to address. For more information, see the blog post Accessibility of Remote Meetings Published as W3C Group Note.
