Workshop on Distributed Web Applications
The W3C Workshop on Declarative Models of Distributed Web
Applications is underway 5-6 June in Dublin, Ireland. "Attendees
will discuss how developers can focus on applications and end-user
experience, leaving the details for how they are to be realized to
tools that deal with the capabilities and shortcomings of each
device," said Dave Raggett, W3C Fellow. Declarative techniques
promise to reduce the cost of building Web applications for home,
office and mobile environments. The Workshop is looking at the role
of XML and Semantic Web technologies in achieving that goal, along
with the challenges for dealing with security and privacy. The
Workshop is hosted by MobileAware with the support of the Irish
State Development Agency, Enterprise Ireland. Read the press
release, about W3C Workshops and about the Ubiquitous Web.

Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) Version 1.1: Working Drafts
The Voice Browser Working Group released updated Working Drafts of
"Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) Version 1.1" and its
"Requirements." Version 1.1 improves on W3C's "SSML 1.0
Recommendation" by adding support for more conventions and practices
of the world's languages including Asian, Eastern European, and
Middle Eastern languages. Both documents follow discussions from the
three W3C Workshops on extending SSML. See the January 2007 press
release and visit the Voice Browser home page.

Web of Services for Enterprise Computing: Workshop Report
The Web of Services for Enterprise Computing Workshop Report is now
available, recommending next steps for the ways Web services and Web
standards can meet enterprise software requirements. In February,
Web services and SOA experts met to improve enterprise support. Read
the results of the Workshop on Web of Services for Enterprise
Computing hosted by MITRE, about Workshops and about Web services.

CSS3 Media Queries: Candidate Recommendation
The CSS Working Group released an updated Candidate Recommendation
for editorial changes to "Media Queries," a module of Cascading
Style Sheets Level 3 (CSS3). Built on the mechanism outlined in
HTML, a registry of media types is proposed to describe to what type
of devices a style sheet applies, and expressions to limit a style
sheet's scope. Presentations can then be tailored to a specific
range of output devices without changing the content. Visit the CSS
home page.

CSS3 Multi-Column Layout: Working Draft
The CSS Working Group released an updated Working Draft of
"Multi-Column Layout," a module of Cascading Style Sheets Level 3
(CSS3). Style sheet authors can allow content to flow from one
column to another, specify column width, and allow the number of
columns to vary, all depending on available space. More flexible
than table markup, columns styled in CSS can more easily be
presented on a variety of output devices including speech
synthesizers and small mobile devices. Visit the CSS home page.

Internationalization Best Practices: Right-to-Left Scripts
The Internationalization Core Working Group published an updated
Working Draft of "Internationalization Best Practices: Handling
Right-to-left Scripts in XHTML and HTML Content." This advice is
for authors who use XHTML or HTML markup and CSS to create and/or
localize Web content in languages that use right-to-left scripts
such as Arabic and Hebrew. The document was previously titled
Authoring Techniques for XHTML & HTML Internationalization: Handling
Bidirectional Text 1.0. Visit the Internationalization home page.

Semantic Web Case Studies and Use Cases Published
The SWEO Interest Group is pleased to announce the first set of Case
Studies and Use Cases giving some examples of how the Semantic Web
of machine readable data is used today. Applications are presented
in areas ranging from automotive to health care, and from B2B
systems to geographical information systems. The SWEO Interest Group
will continue to publish new Case Studies and Use Cases in the
future; an RSS feed for new submissions is available. A short
overview is also available in Open Document Format, PDF, and HTML
formats. Read about the Semantic Web.

Web Services Policy 1.5: Updated Candidate Recommendations
The Web Services Policy Working Group published updated Candidate
Recommendations for Web Services Policy 1.5 documenting their
progress. The Policy "Framework" model expresses the nature of Web
services in order to convey conditions for their interaction.
"Attachment" defines how to associate policies, for example within
WSDL or UDDI, with subjects to which they apply. The "Primer" is an
updated Working Draft. Candidate Recommendation feedback is welcome
through 30 June. Read about Web services.
