Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) 2.0: Working Draft
The Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines Working Group published
updated Working Drafts of "Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines
2.0" and "Implementation Techniques for ATAG 2.0." ATAG helps
developers design tools that are accessible so that people with
disabilities can use the tools, and so that the tools help produce
accessible Web content. Read the invitation to review the updated
ATAG 2.0 Working Drafts and learn more about the Web Accessibility
Initiative.

Note: Web Security Experience, Indicators and Trust: Scope and Use
Cases
The Web Security Context Working Group has published the Group Note
"Web Security Experience, Indicators and Trust: Scope and Use Cases"
. The Working Group is chartered to recommend user interfaces that
help users make trust decisions on the Web. This Note explains the
group's technical aims (complementing the group charter), what
technologies may be used to achieve the group's mission, and how
proposals will be evaluated. This Note also includes an initial
collection of use cases that the group expects will drive its
technical work. Learn more about the Security Activity.

RDB2RDF Incubator Group to Study Mapping Relational Data into RDF
W3C is pleased to announce the creation of the RDB2RDF Incubator
Group, sponsored by W3C Members Oracle, HP, PartnersHealthcare, and
OpenLink Software. The mission of this Incubator Group is twofold:
(1) to examine and classify existing approaches to mapping
relational data into RDF and assess whether standardization is
possible and/or necessary in this area, and (2) to examine and
classify existing approaches to mapping OWL classes to Relational
data, or, more accurately, SQL queries, moving towards the goal of
defining a standard in this area. See the charter for more
information. Read more about the Incubator Activity, an initiative
to foster development of emerging Web-related technologies.
