The HTML Working Group has published a Working Draft of ARIA in HTML. This specification defines the web developer rules (author conformance requirements) for the use of wai-aria-1.1 attributes on HTML51 elements. It also defines requirements for Conformance Checking tools. Learn more about the HTML Activity.

The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working Draft of Gamepad. The Gamepad specification defines a low-level interface that represents gamepad devices. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

The Internationalization Working Group has published a Working Draft of Requirements for Hangul Text Layout and Typography. This document describes requirements for general Korean language/Hangul text layout and typography realized with technologies like CSS, SVG and XSL-FO. The document is mainly based on a project to develop the international standard for Korean text layout. Learn more about the Internationalization Activity.

The WebFonts Working Group has published a Working Draft of WOFF File Format 2.0. Based on experience with WOFF 1.0, which is widely deployed, this specification was developed to provide improved compression and thus lower use of network bandwidth, while still allowing fast decompression even on mobile devices. This is achieved by combining a content-aware pre-processing step and improved entropy coding, compared to the Flate compression used in WOFF 1.0.

The Group also published a Working Draft of WOFF 2.0 Evaluation Report. Web Open Font Format (WOFF) 2.0 is a proposed update to the existing WOFF 1.0 with improved compression. This report lists requirements for successful deployment, evaluates how the requirement may be met, and examines the compression gains and tradeoffs vs. code complexity, encode and decode time. This document is non-normative. Learn more about the Fonts Activity.

The RDF Data Shapes Working Group has published a Working Draft of SHACL Use Cases and Requirements. To foster the development of Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL), this document includes a set of use cases and requirements that motivate a simple language and semantics for formulating structural constraints on RDF graphs. All use cases provide realistic examples describing how people may use structural constraints to validate RDF instance data. Note, this document avoids the use of any specific vocabulary that might be introduced by the SHACL specification. Learn more about the Data Activity.

The Web Real-Time Communications Working Group and Device APIs Working Group have published a Working Draft of Media Capture and Streams. This document defines a set of JavaScript APIs that allow local media, including audio and video, to be requested from a platform. Learn more about the Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.

The SVG Working Group has published two First Published Working Drafts and one Working Draft.

SVG Markers is a specification that defines SVG markers, a feature for placing re-usable graphical elements along the outline of an SVG shape.

SVG Strokes is a specification that defines properties for controlling the appearance of strokes painted for SVG shapes.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2 is a specification that defines the features and syntax for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Version 2. SVG is a language based on XML for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics. SVG content is stylable, scalable to different display resolutions, and can be viewed stand-alone, mixed with HTML content, or embedded using XML namespaces within other XML languages. SVG also supports dynamic changes; script can be used to create interactive documents, and animations can be performed using declarative animation features or by using script.
