The Team organizes workshops to promote early involvement in the development of W3C Activities from Members and the public.
The goal of a workshop is usually either to convene experts and other interested parties for an exchange of ideas about a technology or policy, or to address the pressing concerns of W3C Members.
Recent W3C Workshops have included:
Frameworks for Semantics in Web Services, Rule Languages for Interoperability, Constraints and Capabilities for Web Services, Multimodal Interaction, Semantic Web for Life Sciences, Web Applications and Compound Documents, Binary Interchange of XML Information Item Sets, long-term Future of P3P and Enterprise Privacy Languages
Usability, Implementation, and interoperability
