W3C Track: Digital Publishing
Would you like to participate in shaping the future of document
publishing on the Web? The Web and Digital Publishing are
strongly related. Digital Publishing (online journals, digital
books and magazines, etc.) use Web Technologies like HTML, CSS, or
SVG, placing extremely high quality requirements when it comes to
their usage for high end publishing like online (academic)
journals or educational publications. The need in curating
content, in combining various forms of media with high demands on
accessibility and ergonomics, etc., has been shaping the
publishing industry and accumulating a body of experience over
hundreds of years. The convergence of these two worlds also opens
up new possibilities in storytelling, in education, or
communicating scientific achievements through new forms of
scholarly publishing.

W3C Track: Web Payments
Do
you want to streamline the online checkout experience?
Although the world conducts more than 1 Trillion USD of
e-Commerce each year, usability obstacles and security gaps
are limiting the full potential of e-Commerce. In this
session, we will discuss various activities going on at W3C to
improve e-Commerce, including streamlined payments, strong
authentication, and emerging technology to bridge disparate
payment systems. The session will focus on new payment APIs
currently being standardized, but will cover a range of
current and potential W3C activities.
