Grid Positioning: CSS3 Working Draft
The CSS Working Group released the First Public Working Draft of the
"CSS Grid Positioning Module" for Level 3 of the Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS) language. It applies the traditional grid systems used
in books and newspapers to online content and complements the
different approach defined in the "CSS Advanced Layout Module."
Grids may be explicitly authored or implied and combined with "Media
Queries." Visit the CSS home page.

Note: Web Applications and User Interfaces
The Web Application Formats Working Group has published "Declarative
Formats for Applications and User Interfaces" as a Working Group
Note. The note recommends that the Working Group stop formal work on
this deliverable and includes some potential options if W3C Members
choose to do related work. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

GRDDL Standard Provides Bridge from Web Documents to the Semantic Web
The World Wide Web Consortium today released "GRDDL" and "GRDDL Test
Cases" as Recommendations. GRDDL enables authors to extract data
from their documents automatically, enabling them to reuse their
data and enrich it by connecting to the Semantic Web. Give the W3C
GRDDL Service a try! Read the "GRDDL Primer," the press release and
testimonials, and about the Semantic Web.
