Alliance will be held 28 September in Mountain View, CA, USA, hosted

help shape its use in mobile Web browsers. Topics may include user
experience, application development, support in today's devices and
browsers, and whether needs exist for standardization and best
practices. Results will be linked from the Workshop page in October.

POWDER Description Resources, Datatypes and Vocabulary: Working Drafts
The POWDER Working Group published First Public Working Drafts of
"Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER): Description
Resources" and "Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER): Web
Description Resources (WDR) Vocabulary" and "Protocol for Web
Description Resources (POWDER): Web Description Resources Datatypes
(WDRD)." POWDER is a way to attach small, easily-produced
annotations to large collections of Web content. Web resources can
then be retrieved, personalized and delivered in a variety of
delivery contexts to meet both social needs for content labels and
commercial requirements for content adaptation. Visit the Semantic
Web home page.

Service Modeling Language (SML): Working Drafts
The Service Modeling Language (SML) Working Group released updated
Working Drafts of "Service Modeling Language, Version 1.1" and its
"Service Modeling Language Interchange Format Version 1.1." SML is
used to model complex services and systems including their
structure, constraints, policies and best practices. Based on XML
Schema and Schematron, SML allows inter-document references and
user-defined constraints. Read more about XML.

Update to SPARQL Candidate Recommendation: XML Results Format
W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of "SPARQL Query Results
XML Format" to Candidate Recommendation. The "SPARQL Query Language
for RDF" offers developers and end users a way to write and consume
search results across a wide range of information and provides a
means of integration over disparate sources. With this format,
SPARQL variable binding and boolean results can be expressed in XML.

Web home page.

A MathML for CSS Profile: Working Draft
The Math Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of "A
MathML for CSS profile." This subset of MathML 3.0 can be used to
capture the structure of mathematical formulas in a way particularly
suitable for further CSS formatting. Coordinated with ongoing work
on CSS Level 3, the profile is expected to facilitate adoption of
MathML in Web browsers and CSS formatters. Visit the Math home page.
