Issue 40: April 2001

W3C UK Office Chair

2 April 2001: The UK Office has a new Manager from the beginning of April. The previous Manager, Stuart Robinson, has moved to another position within RAL. Let us thank him for his hard work in the past years at the UK Office!

The new Office Manager is Michael Wilson. Michael holds a doctorate in Psycholinguistics, and has been researching human-computer interaction and knowledge engineering for twenty years on projects including the joint IBM/Microsoft development of a windowing system for DOS, the OPAL experiment at CERN and the Malaysian Multimedia Supercorridor. In the early says of the web he ran a project to implement the competing monolithic ISO HyTime standard, instead of being convinced that the incremental development of web technologies would meet the market needs better. He has the usual 100 academic publications, and experience in professional activities such as research proposal and project reviewing, and journal and conference organization. For the last five years he has co-ordinated the UK national research programme on Multimedia and Networking Applications (MNA). He has previously been involved in W3C during the specification of SMIL.

Canonical XML Becomes a W3C Recommendation

On 19 March, W3C released Canonical XML Version 1.0 as a W3C Recommendation. The specification is stable, and has been reviewed by the W3C Membership, who favors its adoption by academic, industry, and research communities. With XML Signature, Canonical XML can ensure the integrity of data traveling between XML processors, crucial in applications like electronic commerce. Canonical XML was produced by the XML Signature Working Group, a joint effort of the IETF and W3C.
