Abstract:At the heart of the net neutrality debate is whether the Internet, the Web, and associated technologies will continue to thrive as an open platform for innovation and free expression and what policies, if any, are necessary to ensure that they will. Our panelists will focus their discussion on several key scenarios of Internet usage in order to understand the most critical features that allow the Internet to remain open today and how the evolution of networks, technologies, and business models will impact the openness of the Internet tomorrow. The panelists will use scenarios involving web-based commerce, cached news delivery, voice over IP, and fully decentralized multimedia services to frame the discussion. The format for the plenary session is described below, but due to the ever-changing nature and uncertain future of the net neutrality issue, the precise plan for the program may be amended over the coming months. -

XForms: an alternative to Ajax?
by Erik Bruchez
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications .
(see abstract)
Abstract:Last year, we introduced server-side XForms as the most promising way of making XForms a short-term reality on the web.
In this year’s presentation, we discuss how this promise has materialized with hybrid Ajax-based open source implementations, and we demonstrate the most exciting capabilities of XForms running on today’s deployed web browsers.
We not only show how XForms fulfils its initial promise of becoming the next generation web forms, but also how it serves as a general-purpose dynamic user interface technology.
Finally, we show that hybrid XForms implementations effectively offer an abstraction layer over Ajax technologies, thereby greatly simplifying the implementation of common Ajax use-cases and giving XForms a place of choice in the “Web 2.0” ecosystem.

Da Enquire al Semantic Web (From Enquire to Semantic Web)
Le Invasioni Tecnologiche - Come le nuove tecnologie cambiano il pensiero, la comunicazione e la scienza
(Technological invasions - As new technologies are changing mind, communication and science)Pisa, Italy
(see abstract)
Abstract:Il World Wide Web, l’ invenzione che più ha rivoluzionato la nostra vita negli ultimi anni, nasce dall’ intuizione di Tim Berners-Lee, che peraltro ha sempre affermato che il Web è il frutto di un lavoro collettivo, e da un’ incredibile serie di sviluppi di ricerca e tecnologici. I principi ispiratori della proposta iniziale sono ancora vivi e attuali, e il Semantic Web è la realizzazione di un sogno che appariva impossibile.
Nella nascita e successiva travolgente diffusione del Web hanno giocato un ruolo fondamentale un’ impostazione tecnica e umana che ha privilegiato e valorizzato il lavoro collettivo e il rispetto reciproco, e una forte attenzione ai valori umani.

Introduction to the Semantic Web (tutorial)
by Ivan Herman
Relevant technology area: Semantic Web .
(see abstract)
Abstract:This tutorial gives an overview of the basic Semantic Web Technologies developed at W3C. Using practical examples, the fundamentals of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) are presented, together with the mapping of the general RDF principles on XML. Then a detailed overview of RDF Schemas (a.k.a. RDF Vocabulary Description Language) is given, followed by an overview of the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Finally, new technologies, like SPARQL, SKOS, are also presented. The tutorial also gives some guidelines on how Semantic Web programs are developed in practice, gives example for applications, and finally gives some ideas on the directions the technologies evolve at W3C in the coming years.
Participants are expected to have a basic knowledge on XML. -

An XML based architecture for Web 2.0 applications
(see abstract)
Abstract:There is no agreed upon definition of what Web 2.0 is but everybody has a personal definition. This talk will describe our interpretation of how a new generation of applications on the Web will be built. It will look at the current architectures and see why they do not satisfy the requirements of Web 2.0 (as we understand them). It will explain why we believe that Web 2.0 applications will rely on XML not only for serialization but as a fundamental underlying information model. We believe that there will be no more (or very little) Java or SQL code in this new generation of applications. Unfortunately the existing XML stack of technologies isn't complete at this point. In the talk we will also list the extensions we think will be needed in order to fulfill the goal of an XML-based declarative information hub as a fundamental architecture for such applications. -

Broken Links on the Web: Local Laws and the Global Free Flow of Information
(see abstract)
Abstract:Across the World Wide Web there is government censorship and monitoring of political messages and "morally-corrupting" material. Google have been in the news recently for capitulating to the Chinese government's demands to ban certain kinds of content, and also for refusing to pass logs of browsing habits to the US government (while Microsoft and Yahoo complied wth the request). How can the Web survive as a unified, global information environment in the face of government censorship? Can governments and the private sector come to an agreement on international legal standards for the free flow of information and privacy? -

(see abstract)
Abstract:Health care practices and bioinformatics have already succeeded in utilizing database management, workflow and information retrieval technologies, which have provided syntactic search, heterogeneous data access and sharing, and limited forms of integration. We can realize more exciting potential of health care and life science if we have more automated ways for analysis leading to insight and discovery. -

Abstract:As one of the important provider of IST Standards, in the area of Web technologies (XML, http, HTML, CSS, WAI, etc), the international World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is well positionned to give its opinion on the matter of Open Standards definition.
W3C follows a process that promotes the development of high-quality standards. This process has evolved over a period of ten years, from a very rough consensus building approach of writing specifications, to a formal set of obligations that promote fairness, responsiveness, and progress: all facets of the W3C mission.
Using the W3C process as a model, we present the set of requirements that a provider of technical specification must follow to qualify for the adjective Open Standard.

Extreme Standards: Using markup and CSS to create detailed, aesthetic and progressive site designs (tutorial)
by Molly E. Holzschlag and Andy Clarke
Sydney, Australia
Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications .
(see abstract)
Abstract:Extreme Standards: Using markup and CSS to create detailed, aesthetic and progressive site designs As Web designers and developers we are often challenged by the complexities of technology and the nuances of design. We want to create usable, useful and aesthetic sites and know how to implement it effectively across web browsers. We want to manage our documents and workflow efficiently, to implement best practices in markup and CSS, and to create designs that are extremely manageable, accessible, forward thinking and visually compelling. In this full day session, Andy Clarke and Molly Holzschlag bring their respective experience and insight into the standards-based approach to client-side Web design. There will be plenty of visual and code examples as well as forays into other genres of design including the fine arts, architecture and multimedia design to demonstrate exactly what can be done with their more inclusive approach. -

Form - Content - Essence: Designing Markup for Information Representation
Berlin, Germany
Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications .
(see abstract)
Abstract:Considering that HTML is the world's most popular document format, it is seriously ill-fitted for information representation purposes.
After an enormous effort in the 90's to undo the damage caused by mixing content and presentation, it seems like that message is now coming through.
But there is still a long road to navigate. The tools you use for content delivery can greatly affect what you can achieve, and the amount of work you have to put in to achieve it.
Do we really want to re-author a site for each type of device that is likely to use it? What are the best ways to meet the challenges of multi-lingual environments and accessibility?
Work is ongoing at the World Wide Web Consortium W3C on producing markup languages that meet the needs of modern web content, and this talk describes the approach used, and in particular how XHTML2 and XForms meet the challenges of structured content, single authoring, accessibility, and device independence.

Practical and Cultural Issues in Designing International Websites
by Richard Ishida , in cooperation with the Spain Office
Oviedo, Asturias, Spain
Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications .
(see abstract)
Abstract:If you are a designer, developer or author working on a website that may be translated or adapted for users in other countries or languages, you need to ensure that you don't build in substantial barriers to localization. If you think that the translation vendor or localization team can take care of things for you when the time comes, you really need to hear this talk. We will use examples to examine some of the things that must be designed into the site, rather than treated as an afterthought, if it is to be successfully deployed in more than one language or country.

The Internationalisation Tag Set - What Happened Next
Dublin, Ireland
Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications .
(see abstract)
Abstract:The Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) work at the W3C, led by Yves Savourel, defines a standard to support better internationalisation and localisation of schemas and XML documents (both existing and new ones). The standard proposes a set of data categories, for which it then defines implementations as a set of elements and attributes. It also provides examples of how ITS can be used with popular existing markup schemes such as DocBook and DITA, and in three schema languages, XML DTDs, XML Schema, and RELAX NG.
The first version of the standard is nearing completion. It addresses how to identify translatable vs. non-translatable content, localisation notes, terminology references, directionality of text, language markup, inline elements, and ruby annotation.
The aim is to ensure that XML formats support features needed for international use and for efficient localisation. It should also make the job of vendors easier by standardising the format and processing expectations of localisation-related markup items, and allowing translation tools to more effectively identify how content should be handled.
The talk will use examples to acquaint you better with ITS and its relevance to the localisation community.

Where Would We Be Without Unicode? (panel)
Internationalization & Unicode Conference
Washington DC, USA
Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications .
(see abstract)
Abstract:At last count, there are somewhere north of 1,000 software industry standardization organizations, all established at least in part to guarantee some sort of interoperability and portability between systems. And most places you turn, Unicode is the standard that drives that interoperability -- from readable documents outlining the standard specification, to runtime compatibility on-the-wire or across the API. In this keynote panel, leaders of standards organizations will explain how they rely on the Unicode standard to forge ahead with their own standards, and how the future of Unicode, in internationalization, localization and globalization, will support their own standards programs. Other industry experts will detail how Unicode is key to enabling new capabilities and relate the business reality of supporting additional languages. Finally, trends in upcoming standards with respect to the emerging markets and new scripts in Unicode as well as when and how they will be leveraged will be discussed. -

An Introduction to Writing Systems & Unicode (tutorial)
Internationalization & Unicode Conference
Washington DC, USA
Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications .
(see abstract)
Abstract:The tutorial will provide you with a good understanding of the many unique characteristics of non-Latin writing systems, and illustrate the problems involved in implementing such scripts in products. It does not provide detailed coding advice, but does provide the essential background information you need to understand the fundamental issues related to Unicode deployment, across a wide range of scripts. It has also proved to be an excellent orientation for newcomers to the conference, providing the background needed to assist understanding of the other talks! The tutorial goes beyond encoding issues to discuss characteristics related to input of ideographs, combining characters, context-dependent shape variation, text direction, vowel signs, ligatures, punctuation, wrapping and editing, font issues, sorting and indexing, keyboards, and more. The concepts are introduced through the use of examples from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, Hindi/Tamil, Russian and Greek. While the tutorial is perfectly accessible to beginners, it has also attracted very good reviews from people at an intermediate and advanced level, due to the breadth of scripts discussed. No prior knowledge is needed. -
