W3C Publishes HTML 5 Draft, Future of Web Content

W3C today published an early draft of "HTML 5," a major revision of
the markup language for the Web. The HTML Working Group is creating
HTML 5 to be the open, royalty-free specification for rich Web
content and Web applications. "HTML is of course a very important
standard," said Tim Berners-Lee, author of the first version of HTML
and W3C Director. "I am glad to see that the community of
developers, including browser vendors, is working together to create
the best possible path for the Web." New features include APIs for
drawing two-dimensional graphics and ways to embed and control audio
and video content. HTML 5 helps to improve interoperability and
reduce software costs by giving precise rules not only about how to
handle all correct HTML documents but also how to recover from
errors. Discover other "new features," read the press release, and
learn more about the future of HTML.

SKOS Simple Knowledge Organization System Reference (First Public
Working Draft)

The Semantic Web Deployment Working Group has published the First
Public Working Draft of "SKOS Simple Knowledge Organization System
Reference." This document defines the Simple Knowledge Organization
System (SKOS), a common data model for sharing and linking knowledge
organization systems via the Semantic Web. SKOS provides a standard,
low-cost means to describe the semantic relationships between
existing knowledge systems and to port those systems to the Semantic
Web. SKOS also provides a lightweight, intuitive language for
developing and sharing new knowledge organization systems. Learn
more about the Semantic Web Activity.

Relationship Between Mobile Web and Web Content Accessibility (First
Public Working Draft)

The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group and the WAI Education
and Outreach Working Group have published the First Public Working
Draft of "Relationship Between Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 and Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines." See the announcement email.

The groups encourage people to start by reading Web Content
Accessibility and Mobile Web: Making a Web Site Accessible Both for
People with Disabilities and for Mobile Devices, which shows how
design goals for accessibility and mobile access overlap. A third
document, Experiences Shared by People with Disabilities and by
People Using Mobile Devices, provides examples of barriers that
people (without disabilities) face when interacting with Web content
via mobile devices, and similar barriers for people with
disabilities using desktop computers. Learn more about the Mobile
Web Initiative and the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Document Object Model Activity Closed

W3C's Document Object Model (DOM) Activity is now closed. The
Document Object Model Working Group closed in the early 2004 after
the completion of the DOM Level 3 Recommendations. Since then,
several W3C Working Groups have taken the lead in maintaining and
continuing to develop standard APIs for the Web; these include the
HTML, SVG, CSS, and WebAPI Working Groups. W3C will continue to
develop APIs in various Working Groups. Learn more about
achievements of those participating as part of the DOM Activity on
the DOM Activity Statement.

W3C Advisory Committee Elects TAG Participants

The W3C Advisory Committee has elected Ashok Malhotra (Oracle), T.V.
Raman (Google), and Henry Thompson (University of Edinburgh) to the
W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG). Continuing TAG participants
are Noah Mendelsohn (IBM), David Orchard (BEA), Jonathan Rees
(Science Commons), Norm Walsh (Sun), and Stuart Williams (HP), who
co-Chairs the TAG with Tim Berners-Lee. The mission of the TAG is to
build consensus around principles of Web architecture and to
interpret and clarify these principles when necessary, to resolve
issues involving general Web architecture brought to the TAG, and to
help coordinate cross-technology architecture developments inside
and outside W3C.

SPARQL Standard Opens Data on the Web

Today, the World Wide Web Consortium made it easier to share and
reuse data across application, enterprise, and community boundaries
with the publication of three new Semantic Web standards for
"SPARQL" (pronounced "sparkle"). SPARQL is the query language for
the Semantic Web (see Semantic Web use cases). SPARQL queries hide
the details of data management, which lowers costs and increases
robustness of data integration on the Web. "Trying to use the
Semantic Web without SPARQL is like trying to use a relational
database without SQL," explained Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director.
There are already 14 implementations of the standard, which is
comprised of three W3C Recommendations: "SPARQL Query Language for
RDF," "SPARQL Protocol for RDF," and "SPARQL Query Results XML
Format." Read the press release, testimonials and learn more about
the Semantic Web Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of SMIL 3.0 (Candidate Recommendation)

The SYMM Working Group has published the Candidate Recommendation of
"Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 3.0)," an
XML-based language that allows authors to create interactive
multimedia presentations. Using SMIL 3.0, an author can describe the
temporal behavior of a multimedia presentation, associate hyperlinks
with media objects and describe the layout of the presentation on a
screen. The Working Group is building a test suite help ensure
interoperable implementation. Learn more about W3C work on
Synchronized Multimedia

Service Modeling Language 1.1 Drafts

The Service Modeling Language (SML) Working Group has published the
third Working Drafts of "Service Modeling Language, Version 1.1" and
"Service Modeling Language Interchange Format Version 1.1." The
former defines the SML 1.1, intended to model complex services and
systems, including their structure, constraints, policies, and best
practices. The latter defines the SML 1.1 interchange format,
designed to ensure accurate and convenient interchange of the
documents that make up an SML model. Learn more about the Extensible
Markup Language (XML) Activity.

W3C Welcomes Review of Three OWL 1.1 First Public Drafts

The OWL Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft
of three Web Ontology Language (OWL) 1.1 specifications: "Structural
Specification and Functional-Style Syntax," "Model-Theoretic
Semantics," and "Mapping to RDF Graphs." OWL is used to define
Semantic Web vocabularies. Together, these new specifications extend
the W3C "OWL Web Ontology Language 1.0" with a small but useful set
of features that have been requested by users, for which effective
reasoning algorithms are now available, and that OWL tool developers
are willing to support. The three specifications cover,
respectively, the syntax, semantics, and mapping to RDF of OWL 1.1
ontologies. Learn more about the W3C Semantic Web Activity.

Last Call: SMIL Timesheets 1.0

The SYMM Working Group has published the Last Call Working Draft of
"SMIL Timesheets 1.0" ; this is also the First Public Working Draft.
This document defines an XML timing language that makes SMIL 3.0
element and attribute timing control available to a wide range of
other XML languages. This language allows SMIL timing to be
integrated into a wide variety of a-temporal languages, even when
several such languages are combined in a compound document. Because
of its similarity with external style and positioning descriptions
in the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) language, this functionality has
been termed SMIL Timesheets. Comments are welcome through 15
February. Learn more about W3C work on Synchronized Multimedia.

and well-known accessibility taxonomies. Learn more about the HTML
