Three SPARQL Proposed Recommendations: SPARQL Query Language for RDF;
Query Results XML Format; Protocol for RDF

The RDF Data Access Working Group has published three SPARQL
Proposed Recommendations: "SPARQL Query Language for RDF," "SPARQL
Query Results XML Format," and "SPARQL Protocol for RDF." The
first specification defines the syntax and semantics of the SPARQL
query language for RDF. SPARQL can be used to express queries across
diverse data sources, whether the data is stored natively as RDF or
viewed as RDF via middleware. The results of SPARQL queries can be
results sets or RDF graphs; the second specification defines an XML
format for the variable binding and boolean results formats. The
third specification uses "WSDL 2.0" to describe an HTTP protocol for
conveying SPARQL queries to an SPARQL query processing service and
returning the query results to the party that made the request.
Comments are welcome through 10 December. Learn more about the
Semantic Web Activity.

DIAL Part 0: Primer

The Ubiquitous Web Applications Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "DIAL Part 0: Primer." This document provides an
introduction to, and the benefits of, DIAL (the Device Independent
Authoring Language). It summarizes the concept of device
independence, the scenarios in which it could be used, and the
considerations in order to achieve that goal. It then describes the
role of DIAL in ensuring the delivery of content suitable for the
user, device and inherent circumstances in which it was requested.

Three RIF Working Drafts: Basic Logic Dialect, RDF and OWL
Compatibility, and Core Design (Placeholder)

The Rule Interchange Format Working Group has published three
documents: "RIF Basic Logic Dialect," "RIF RDF and OWL
Compatibility," and "RIF Core Design - Placeholder" ; the first two
are First Public Working Drafts. Basic Logic Dialect specifies a
basic format that allows logic rules to be exchanged between
rule-based systems. Rules interchanged using the Rule Interchange
Format RIF may depend on or be used in combination with RDF data
and/or RDF Schema or OWL data models. RIF RDF and OWL Compatibility
specifies compatibility of RIF with the Semantic Web languages RDF
and RDFS; in the future the document will address OWL as well.
Finally, the Placeholder document resets expectations about the core
RIF design. The Working Group has decided that that the design
previously published as "RIF Core" is better considered as the basis
for Logic Rules, rather than all kinds of rules. In the future, a
new Core may be published, but for now, interested parties should
refer to the Basic Logic Dialect. Learn more about the Semantic Web
Activity.

Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER): Grouping of Resources

The Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER) Working Group
has published the First Public Working Draft of "Protocol for Web
Description Resources (POWDER): Grouping of Resources." The
Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER) facilitates the

Note: POWDER: Use Cases and Requirements

The Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER) Working Group
has published the Group Note of "POWDER: Use Cases and Requirements"
. This document sets out the use cases and requirements that have
motivated the development of the Protocol for Web Description
Resources (POWDER). The use cases address social and commercial
needs to provide information about groups of Web resources, such as
those available from a Web site, to aid the annotation and/or
personalization of content for end users in varying delivery
contexts. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.

feedback, brings the XForms 1.0 Recommendation up to date with
second edition errata and reflects clarifications already
implemented in XForms processors. XForms separates presentation and
content, minimizes the need for scripting and round-trips to the
server, and offers device independence. Visit the forms home page.

Content Transformation Landscape 1.0: Working Draft

The Content Transformation Task Force of the Mobile Web Best
Practices Working Group released the First Public Working Draft of
"Content Transformation Landscape 1.0." This document identifies
some issues surrounding the use of transforming proxies in the

XML Signature and Encryption Workshop Report

The report of the Workshop on Next Steps for XML Signature and XML
Encryption is available. The report shows strong interest in
additional work on XML security at W3C. A basic signature profile,
the referencing and transform models, updating the set of supported
cryptographic algorithms, and revisiting XML canonicalization were
seen as highest priority among the several topics identified by the
participants. The Workshop was held in September in Mountain View,
CA, USA, hosted by VeriSign and chaired by Frederick Hirsch (Nokia)
and Thomas Roessler (W3C). Read about W3C Workshops and about the
Security Activity.
