A deliverable of the MobiWebApp project, this sixth edition of
the document highlights changes since February 2012, including
new deliverables from the charter of the rechartered Web
Applications Working Group (packaging format for Web
applications, Quota Management, push notifications that can
wake a sleeping app, Web Intents, fullscreen and screen-lock
APIs), playback of protected content in HTML Working Group via
Encrypted Media Extensions, progress on many other
specifications, and new links to resources on mobile
accessibility.

RDFa Core 1.1, RDFa Lite 1.1 and XHTML+RDFa 1.1 are W3C
recommendations

07 June 2012 | Archive

http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9470

The RDF Web Applications Working Group has published "RDFa Core
1.1," "RDFa Lite 1.1," and "XHTML+RDFa 1.1" as W3C
Recommendations. The group also published the "RDFa 1.1 Primer"
as a Working Note. Together, these documents outline the vision
for RDFa in a variety of XML and HTML-based Web markup
languages. RDFa Core 1.1 specifies the core syntax and
processing rules for RDFa 1.1 and how the language is intended
to be used in XML documents. RDFa Lite 1.1 provides a simple
subset of RDFa for novice web authors. XHTML+RDFa 1.1 specifies
the usage of RDFa in the XHTML markup language. Learn more
about Semantic Web Activity.

RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax Draft Published

05 June 2012 | Archive

http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9468

The RDF Working Group has published a Working Draft of "RDF 1.1
Concepts and Abstract Syntax." This document defines the RDF
data model. Notable "changes" since the "previous working
draft" include the introduction of new datatypes for HTML
fragments and language-tagged strings, a re-worked XML
datatype, and a rewritten introduction. Going forward, the
Working Group expects to extend the data model with support for
multiple graphs. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.

Tokyo (Chiba), Japan
Hosted by NTT
The Web is at a turning point with the emergence of the
Open Web Platform, the set of technologies used to create
highly interactive experiences and social apps on a broad
range of devices. W3C has helped foster the deployment of
Web technology on mobile devices and, for the past two
years, has made the convergence of Web and TV a priority
(see the Web and TV Interest Group). We now see an
opportunity to extend the Web to a new class of devices:
very large digital displays. We invite operators of
consumer electronics companies, digital signage platforms,
advertisers, browser vendors, sign owners, and others to
participate in this discussion.

Brussels, Belgium
Hosted by the European Commission
For many years, W3C has been a keen promoter of Open Data,
fostering a culture in which public administrations make
their data available, ideally in machine-processable
formats. Many governments have embraced the idea with
enthusiasm, setting up national data portals. As part of
the FP7-funded Crossover Project, W3C and the European
Commission are running a Workshop in June, just ahead of
the Digital Agenda Summit, to ask a simple question: what
is all the 'new' government open data being used for?
