Last Call: Web Security Context: User Interface Guidelines

The Web Security Context Working Group has published the Last Call
Working Draft of "Web Security Context: User Interface Guidelines."
This specification deals with the trust decisions that users must
make online, and with ways to support them in making safe and
informed decisions where possible. In order to achieve that goal,
this specification includes recommendations on the presentation of
identity information by Web user agents. It also includes
recommendations on handling errors in security protocols. The error
handling recommendations both minimize the trust decisions left to
users, and represent known best practice in inducing users toward
safe behavior where they have to make these decisions. Comments are
welcome through 15 September. Learn more about the Security
Activity.

Two Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Drafts Published: Format 1.0;
Evaluation

The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group published two Working
Drafts today: "Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0" and
"Efficient XML Interchange Evaluation." The former specifies the
Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) format. EXI is a very compact
representation for the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Information
Set that is intended to simultaneously optimize performance and the
utilization of computational resources. The EXI format uses a hybrid
approach drawn from the information and formal language theories,
plus practical techniques verified by measurements, for entropy
encoding XML information. Using a relatively simple algorithm, which
is amenable to fast and compact implementation, and a small set of
data types, it reliably produces efficient encodings of XML event
streams. The latter document, a first public draft, is an evaluation
of the Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0 with reference to
the Properties identified by the (now closed) XML Binary
Characterization (XBC) Working Group, relative to XML, gzipped XML
and ASN.1 PER. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
Activity.

SOAP over Java Message Service 1.0 First Draft Published

The SOAP-JMS Binding Working Group has published the First Public
Working Draft of "SOAP over Java Message Service 1.0." The work
described in this and related documents is aimed at a set of
standards for the transport of SOAP messages over Java Message
Service (JMS). The main purpose is to ensure interoperability
between the implementations of different Web services vendors. It
should also enable customers to implement their own Web services for
part of their infrastructure, and to have this interoperate with
vendor provided Web services. This document specifies bindings for
both SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2, using the SOAP 1.2 Protocol Binding
Framework. Learn more about the Web Services Activity.

Last Call: CSS Color Module Level 3

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published the
Last Call Working Draft of "CSS Color Module Level 3." CSS
(Cascading Style Sheets) is a language for describing the rendering
of HTML and XML documents on screen, on paper, in speech, etc. It
uses color related properties and respective values to color the
text, backgrounds, borders, and other parts of elements in a
document. This specification describes color values and properties
for foreground color and group opacity. These include properties and
values from CSS level 2 and new values. Comments are welcome through
01 September. Learn more about the Style Activity.

POWDER Formal Semantics First Working Draft Published

The Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER) Working Group
has published the First Public Working Draft of "Protocol for Web
Description Resources: Formal Semantics." This document underpins
the Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER). It describes
how the relatively simple operational format of a POWDER document
can be transformed through two stages, first into a more tightly
constrained XML format (POWDER-BASE), and then into an RDF/OWL
encoding (POWDER-S) that may be processed by Semantic Web tools. The
formal semantics of POWDER are best understood after the reader is
acquainted with the "Description Resources" and "Grouping of
Resources" documents. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.

Relationship Between Mobile Web and Web Content Accessibility Working
Draft Published

The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group and the WAI Education
and Outreach Working Group have published an updated Working Draft
of "Relationship between Mobile Web Best Practices (MWBP) and Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)" "." 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).

Workshop report: Role of Mobile Technologies in Fostering Social
Development

Today W3C publishes a report on the June 2008 Workshop on the Role
of Mobile Technologies in Fostering Social Development. Participants
discussed how numerous available services on mobile phones could
help people in underserved regions. Discussion underlined the need
for a concerted effort among all the stakeholders (including
practitioners, academics, regulators, and mobile industry) to build
a shared view of the future of the mobile platform as a tool to
bridge the digital divide. The Workshop was jointly organized by W3C
and NIC.br, with the generous support of UNDP and Fundacion CTIC
(Gold Sponsors), Opera Software and MobileActive.org (Silver
sponsors). This work takes place under the European Union's 7th
Research Framework Programme (FP7), part of Digital World Forum
project. Learn more about the W3C Mobile Web for Social Development
Interest Group and the W3C Mobile Web Initiative.

POWDER Drafts Published: Grouping of Resources; Description Resources

The Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER) Working Group
has published two Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER)
Working Drafts: "Grouping of Resources" and Description Resources.
The first document describes how to publish descriptions of multiple
resources such as all those available from a Web site. These
descriptions are always attributed to a named individual,
organization or entity that may or may not be the creator of the
described resources. The second publication provides a means for
individuals or organizations to create machine-readable
descriptions. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.

Incubator Group to Evaluate Common Web Language (CWL) in Practice

W3C is pleased to announce the creation of the Common Web Language
(CWL) Evaluation and Installation Incubator Group, sponsored by W3C
Members Institute of Semantic Computing (ISeC), (Japan) National
Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Keio
University, and JustSystems Corporation. The group's mission is to
examine Common Web Language in real Web environments using the pilot
model of the CWL platform. CWL is a graphic language of semantic
network with hyper node and is used to describe contents and
