Leading the Web to Its Full Potential...
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops interoperable
technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the
Web to its full potential. W3C is a forum for information, commerce,
communication, and collective understanding. On this page, you'll find W3C news, links to W3C
technologies and ways to get involved. New
visitors can find help in Finding
Your Way at W3C. We encourage organizations to learn more about W3C and about W3C Membership.

XML is Ten!
2008-02-12:
Ten years ago, on 10 February 1998, W3C published Extensible Markup Language (XML)
1.0 as a W3C Recommendation. W3C is marking the ten-year
anniversary of XML by celebrating "XML10" and
extending thanks to the dedicated communities -- including people who have
participated in W3C's XML groups and mailing lists, the SGML community, and
xml-dev -- whose efforts have created a successful family of technologies
based on the solid XML 1.0 foundation. The success of XML is a strong
indicator of how dedicated individuals, working within the W3C Process, can
engage with a larger community to produce industry-changing results. "Today
we celebrate the success of open standards in preserving Web data from
proprietary ownership," said Jon Bosak, who led the W3C Working Group that
produced XML 1.0. Read the press
release and testimonials.

Toward More Transparent Government: Workshop Report on eGovernment and
the Web
2008-01-31: W3C has published a Workshop Report: eGovernment and the Web Workshop: "Toward
More Transparent Government". Participants discussed ways to facilitate
the deployment of Web standards across government sites and how to shape
the ongoing research agenda in the development of Web technology and public
policy in order to realize the potential of the Web for access to and use
of government information. Held 18-19 June (press release), in Washington D.C.,
USA, the Workshop was jointly
organized by W3C and WSRI. Learn more about
eGovernment at W3C. (Permalink)
Call for Review: Canonical XML 1.1
Proposed Recommendation
2008-01-29: The XML Core Working Group has published the Proposed
Recommendation of Canonical XML
1.1. The specification establishes a method for determining whether two
documents are identical, or whether an application has not changed a
document, except for transformations permitted by XML 1.0 and Namespaces in
XML. Canonical XML 1.1 is a revision to Canonical XML 1.0 designed to
address issues related to inheritance of attributes in the XML namespace
when canonicalizing document subsets, including the requirement not to
inherit xml:id, and to treat xml:base URI path
processing properly. Comments are welcome through 07 March. Learn more
about W3C's XML Activity. (Permalink)
SKOS Simple Knowledge Organization System
Reference (First Public Working Draft)
2008-01-25: 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. (Permalink)
W3C Publishes HTML 5 Draft, Future of Web
Content
2008-01-22: 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. (Permalink)
W3C Advisory Committee Elects TAG Participants
2008-01-22: 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. (Permalink)
SPARQL Standard Opens Data on the
Web
2008-01-15: 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)
2008-01-15: 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 (Permalink)
