2007-12-19: Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) -luonnoksia: Format, Best Practices, Primer

2007-12-19: The Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Working Group has published three documents: First Public Working Drafts of EXI Best Practices and EXI Primer, as well as a Working Draft of EXI Format 1.0. EXI is a very compact representation for the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Information Set that is intended to simultaneously optimize performance and the utilization of computational resources. Using a relatively simple algorithm, which is amenable to fast and compact implementation, and a small set of data types, it reliably produces efficient encodings of XML event streams. The primer and best practices documents complement the format specification. The best practices document also presents information suitable for the general reader interested in EXI's intended role in the expanding Web.

2007-12-17: Device Description Repository Requirements 1.0, muistio

2007-12-17: The Mobile Web Initiative Device Description Working Group has published the Group Note of Device Description Repository Requirements 1.0. This document describes the use cases for a Device Description Repository (DDR). Each use case is analyzed in order to determine the behavior expected of a DDR in order to realize it. These expected behaviors are captured as high-level requirements, which when normalized across all use cases, lead to a discrete set of DDR requirements.

2007-12-17: Cool URIs for the Semantic Web, ensimmäinen luonnos

2007-12-17: The Semantic Web Education and Outreach Interest Group has released a first Working Draft of a document explaining the effective use of URIs to enable the growth of the Semantic Web. URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) - more simply called "Web addresses" - are at the heart of the Web and also of the Semantic Web. Cool URIs for the Semantic Web discusses two strategies for choosing URIs for the Semantic Web, gives pointers to several Web sites that use these solutions, and briefly discusses why several other alternatives are less effective. Comments on this draft are requested by 21 January, to be integrated into a final document at the end of the Group's charter. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity. (Permalink)

2007-12-14: Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 3.0 -luonnoksia: MathML for CSS profile; XML Entity definitions

2007-12-14: The Math Working Group has published three Working Drafts: Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 3.0, A MathML for CSS profile, and the First Public Working Draft of XML Entity definitions for Characters. The first defines the Mathematical Markup Language (MathML), an XML application for describing mathematical notation and capturing both its structure and content, for publication on the Web. The second describes a profile of MathML 3.0 that admits formatting with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The third defines several sets of names which are assigned to Unicode characters.

2007-12-12: W3C kutsuu implementoineja Pronunciation Lexicon Specification (PLS) Version 1.0; päivityksiä SSML 1.1 -luonnokseen

2007-12-12: The Voice Browser Working Group has published the Candidate Recommendation of Pronunciation Lexicon Specification (PLS) Version 1.0. Implementation feedback is welcome through 11 April 2008; please see the PLS 1.0 Implementation Report Plan for more information. PLS provides the basis for describing pronunciation information for use in speech recognition and speech synthesis, for use in tuning applications, e.g. for proper names that have irregular pronunciations. The Working Group has also updated Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) Version 1.1. Changes from the previous draft include addition of new "type" attribute with value of "ruby", change of references to "pronunciation alphabet" to be "pronunciation scheme", and modified attribute's names of audio element.

2007-12-12: Teollisuusjohtajat keskustelevat videon integroinnista Webiin

2007-12-12: Video on the Web is hot! That is why Adobe, Apple, Canon, CBS Interactive, Cisco, Comcast, Disney, Hitachi, Motorola, Mozilla, Nokia, Opera, RealNetworks, Samsung, Sony, Sun, Turner Broadcasting, Web3D Consortium, YouTube, and other industry leaders have chosen to meet in San Jose (California) at the W3C Video on the Web Workshop on 12-13 December 2007 to discuss the video landscape. More and more people are publishing high-quality video, social networks are sprouting up around Web-delivered media, and IPTV (Internet-based delivery of television programming) is maturing rapidly. These and other changes pose challenges to the underlying technologies and standards to support the platform-independent creation, authoring, encoding/decoding, and description of video. To ensure the success of video as a "first class citizen" of the Web, W3C has invited the community to explore how to build a solid architectural foundation that enables people to create, navigate, search, and distribute video, and to manage digital rights; see the full agenda. W3C thanks Cisco for hosting the Workshop and to all the participants who sent position papers. (Permalink)

2007-12-11: The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Working Group has released a second Last Call Working Draft of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, and Working Drafts of Understanding WCAG 2.0 and Techniques for WCAG 2.0. Following WCAG makes Web content more accessible to the vast majority of users, including people with disabilities and older users, using many different devices including a wide variety of assistive technologies. Comments are requested by 1 February 2008. Read the WCAG Overview, Call for Review, and about the Web Accessibility Initiative. (Permalink)
