Challenges for Future Web Bring Experts Together at W3C Global Plenary
All this week, the World Wide Web Consortium holds its annual
Technical Plenary week near its European host site in France. More
than 350 software engineers, developers, and other experts in a wide
range of technologies such as HTML, XML, CSS, Mobile Web, Semantic
Web, and Video in the Web, come together to address a variety of
challenges in the development of Web standards. Tim Berners-Lee, W3C
Director and inventor of the Web, will open the 22 October plenary
session with a keynote and discussion on the technical direction of
W3C for the next several years and where Web applications,
documents, and data come together. In the keynote, Berners-Lee will
also share thoughts on the future of HTML in the browser and how
HTML and XML communities can learn from each other. Slides and
minutes from the plenary day will be publicly available. Read the
press release for more information, including information for media
wishing to cover the event.

Incubator Group to Evaluate Research on Model-Based User Interfaces
W3C is pleased to announce the creation of the Model-Based User
Interfaces Incubator Group, sponsored by W3C Members Consiglio
Nazionale delle Ricerche, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, JustSystems,
Siemens, Telefónica de España, and Université Catholique de Louvain.
The group's mission is to evaluate research on model-based user
interface design as a framework for authoring Web applications and
with a view to proposing work on related standards. Read more about
the Incubator Activity, an initiative to foster development of
emerging Web-related technologies. Incubator Activity work is not on
the "W3C standards track."
