Media Queries and 'view mode' are W3C Recommendations

19 June 2012 | Archive

http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9479

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
W3C Recommendation of "Media Queries," which lets designers
create effective Web experiences by adjusting styles according
to device capabilities (such as screen dimensions or color
support) or state (such as device orientation).

W3C also published today a W3C Recommendation of "The
'view-mode' Media Feature," from the Web Applications Working
Group. W3C had delayed its publication until completion of the
Media Queries Recommendation due to dependencies between the
two. The "view-mode" specification extends media query design
capabilities to Web application states (e.g., occupies the
entire screen or is minimized).

PROV-AQ: Provenance Access and Query Draft Published

19 June 2012 | Archive

http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9478

The Provenance Working Group has published a Working Draft of
"PROV-AQ: Provenance Access and Query." This document
specifies how to use standard Web protocols, including HTTP, to
obtain information about the provenance of resources on the
Web. It describes both simple access mechanisms for locating
provenance information associated with web pages or resources,
and provenance query services for more complex deployments.
This is part of the larger W3C Prov provenance framework. Learn
more about the Semantic Web Activity.

All Signs Point to the Web: W3C Workshop on Web-Based
Signage
http://www.w3.org/2012/06/signage/cfp
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.

Using Open Data: policy modeling, citizen empowerment, data

http://www.w3.org/2012/06/pmod/
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?
