New Working Group to Refine Web Services Resource Access Specifications
W3C today launched the Web Services Resource Access Working Group
with a mission to produce W3C Recommendations for a set of Web
Services specifications by refining the WS-Transfer,
WS-ResourceTransfer, WS-Enumeration, WS-MetadataExchange and
WS-Eventing Member Submissions. The group will address existing
issues in those specifications, and review implementation experience
and interoperability feedback from implementers and considering
composition with other Web services standards. Learn more about the
Web Services Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML)
Version 1.1 (Candidate Recommendation)
The Voice Browser Working Group invites implementation of the
Candidate Recommendation of "Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML)
Version 1.1." The Speech Synthesis Markup Language Specification is
designed to provide a rich, XML-based markup language for assisting
the generation of synthetic speech in Web and other applications.
The essential role of the markup language is to provide authors of
synthesizable content a standard way to control aspects of speech
such as pronunciation, volume, pitch, rate, etc. across different
synthesis-capable platforms. See the implementation report plan and
learn more about the Voice Browser Activity.

Note: Legacy extended IRIs for XML resource identification
The XML Core Working Group has published the Group Note of "Legacy
extended IRIs for XML resource identification." For historic
reasons, some formats have allowed variants of IRIs that are
somewhat less restricted in syntax, for example XML system
identifiers and W3C XML Schema anyURIs. This document provides a
definition and a name (Legacy Extended IRI or LEIRI) for these
variants for easy reference. These variants have to be used with
care; they require further processing before being fully
interchangeable as IRIs. New protocols and formats should not use
Legacy Extended IRIs. Learn more about the Extensible Markup
Language (XML) Activity.
