ICT research and standardization - conference - 17 Jan. 07, Brussels

On Wednesday 17 January 2007, the Cooperation Platform for Research and Standardization (COPRAS), together with its consortium partners CEN, CENELEC, ETSI, W3C & The Open Group, will organize a major conference on ICT research and standardization, in the perspective of FP7.

The conference will bring together all stakeholders involved in the research/standards interfacing process, and will feature well known speakers from both the research and the ICT standards communities, as well as representatives from the European Commission. Areas to be addressed include:

- How passing research output through standards processes supports innovation, and helps projects bringing their results to the market;

- What are the major challenges IST projects face when cooperating with standards organizations, and how these challenges should be addressed;

- How should interfacing between research and standardization be organized in FP7, and what are the role and challenges for the European Technology Platforms in this respect;

- What are the main areas in ICT standardization where future closer cooperation with research projects in FP7 will be required;

- How can contributing to standards-making be made more attractive to research projects, and how this will contribute to Europe achieving its overall goal of furthering the Information Society and its position in ICT development;

- What are the recommendations from FP6 for the research/standards interfacing process in FP7, and how can COPRAS' results support improving cooperation between projects and standards organizations in the new Framework Programme.

The conference will take place at the Bedford Hotel in Brussels,

IETF Publishes New Language Tag Specifications

2006-09-21: The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has published two new specifications for language tags. RFC 4646: Tags for the Identification of Languages replaces RFC 3066 and, with the new IANA Language Subtag Registry, extends language tag syntax to address a number of long-standing issues. The separate RFC 4647: Matching of Language Tags addresses how to match the new tags. The W3C I18n GEO Working Group provides a gentle introduction to the new syntax. Visit the Internationalization home page.

XHTML-Print Is a W3C Recommendation

2006-09-26: W3C released XHTML-Print as a Recommendation. Designed for printing from mobile and low-cost devices, the XHTML-Print page description format satisfies print and display needs in the absence of a printer-specific driver and where variability in the formatting of the output is expected and is acceptable. The work is based on XHTML-Print written by the Printer Working Group (PWG), a program of the IEEE-ISTO. Visit the HTML home page.
