Issue 93: September 2005

Registration Open for Advisory Committee Meeting

2005-09-09: The next W3C Advisory Committee Meeting will be held 29 November - 1 December 2005 at the Montreal Marriott Chateau Champlain in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The discount room rate is available until 29 October. A very large convention in Montreal has overlapping dates, so we strongly suggest making hotel reservations as early as possible because hotel rooms all over the city will likely sell out. Meeting registration closes on 23 November. Please register early, if you have questions, feel free to contact the Meeting Planners at acregister@w3.org.

W3C Letter Regarding US Copyright Office Proposal

2005-08-22: W3C has written to the US Copyright Office regarding a notice of proposed rulemaking. The notice asks if persons filing electronic-only preregistration forms will experience difficulties if the Office requires them to use Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser. W3C comments to the Copyright Office suggest that requiring a single browser is inappropriate for government services and encourages the Office to pursue standards-based access in accordance with US Federal policy. Read W3C's letter.

2005-08-29: Following the report on the W3C Workshop on Frameworks for Semantics in Web Services, the Team is currently working on renewal of the Semantic Web Services Interest Group and the beginning of new developments in using semantics for Web services. For technical discussions, we suggest the SWS Interest Group's public list public-sws-ig@w3.org. For Member-only comments, we suggest having the discussion on member-ws@w3.org, which is open to all Members, not only AC Reps. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Carine Bournez or Hugo Haas.

Advance Notice: Semantic Web for Health Care and Life Sciences

2005-08-23: Following the report on the W3C Workshop on Semantic Web for Life Sciences, the Team has prepared an initial Semantic Web for Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group draft charter.

Specification Guidelines Are a W3C Recommendation, QA Working Group Completes Its Work

2005-08-17: W3C released Specification Guidelines as a Recommendation. Written for editors of W3C technical reports, the guidelines explain how to define and specify conformance. The Quality Assurance (QA) Working Group has completed its work and will close. The QA Interest Group will continue W3C's four-year QA effort through mailing lists and online tools. "QA's products will be integral resources that ensure the work of W3C's Working Groups is of high quality," said Steve Bratt, W3C Chief Operating Officer. Read the press release and visit the QA home page.

xml:id Is a W3C Recommendation

2005-09-09: W3C released xml:id Version 1.0 as a W3C Recommendation. The specification defines an attribute name, xml:id, that can always be treated as an identifier and hence can always be recognized, without fetching external resources, and without relying on an internal subset. The Recommendation is the latest deliverable of the XML Core Working Group, part of the W3C XML Activity.

2005-09-02: The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group has released the First Public Working Draft of Scope of Mobile Web Best Practices.
