W3C Co-organizes Meeting on Domain Names and Persistence at IDCC11

08 November 2011 | Archive

On 8 December 2011 at the International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC), W3C is co-organizing with the Digital Curation Centre a workshop on Domain Names and Persistence, in Bristol, UK. The vulnerability of any digital material to unexpected or unintended changes in Internet domain name assignment, and hence to the outcome of domain name resolution, is widely recognised. The fact that domain names are not permanently assigned is regularly cited as one of the main reasons why http: URIs cannot be regarded as persistent identifiers over the long term. This workshop is intended to bring together interested parties to explore the dimensions of the problem and possible directions in which to look for solutions.

First Draft of WebRTC 1.0: Real-time Communication Between Browsers Published

27 October 2011 | Archive

The Web Real-Time Communications Working Group has published he First Public Working Draft of WebRTC 1.0: Real-time Communication Between Browsers. This document defines a set of APIs that enable video conferencing from within an Open Web Platform application. These APIs allow local media, including audio and video, to be requested from a platform, media to be sent over the network to another browser or device implementing the appropriate set of real-time protocols, and media received from another browser or device to be processed and displayed locally. This specification is being developed in conjunction with a protocol specification developed by the IETF RTCWEB group. Learn more about the Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.

Last Call: Touch Events version 1

27 October 2011 | Archive

The Web Events Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of Touch Events version 1. User Agents that run on terminals which provide touch input to use web applications typically use interpreted mouse events to allow users to access interactive web applications. However, these interpreted events, being normalized data based on the physical touch input, may not deliver the intended user experience. Native applications are capable of handling both cases with the provided system APIs. The Touch Events specification now provides a solution for Open Web Platform applications: the ability to directly handle touch events, and multiple touch points for enabled devices. Comments are welcome through 17 November. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.
