W3C Webinar: Discovery in Distributed Multimodal Interaction
17 September 2013 | Archive
The W3C Multimodal Interaction Working Group (MMI-WG) is pleased to announce the second webinar on “Discovery in Distributed Multimodal Interaction”, to be held on September 24, 2013, at 11:00 a.m. ET.
Prior to this second webinar, the MMI-WG held the W3C Workshop on Rich Multimodal Application Development on July 22-23 in New York Metropolitan Area, US, and identified that distributed/dynamic applications depend on the ability of devices and environments to find each other and learn what modalities they support. Therefore this second webinar will focus on the topic of device/service discovery to handle Modality Components of the MMI Architecture dynamically.
The discussion during the webinar will interest anyone who wants to take advantage of the dramatic increase in new interaction modes, whether for health care, financial services, broadcasting, automotive, gaming, or consumer devices.
Several experts from the industry and analyst communities will share their experiences and views on the explosive growth of opportunities for the development of applications that provide enhanced multimodal user-experiences.

The RDF Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of TriG. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a general-purpose language for representing information in the Web. This document defines a textual syntax for RDF called TriG that allows an RDF dataset to be completely written in a compact and natural text form, with abbreviations for common usage patterns and datatypes. TriG is an extension of the Turtle [turtle] format. Comments are welcome through 11 October. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.

CSS Ruby Module Level 1, and CSS Syntax Module Level 3 Drafts Published
20 September 2013 | Archive
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published two Working Drafts today:
- CSS Ruby Module Level 1. “Ruby” are short runs of text alongside the base text, typically used in East Asian documents to indicate pronunciation or to provide a short annotation. This module describes the rendering model and formatting controls related to displaying ruby annotations in CSS. CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in speech, etc.
- CSS Syntax Module Level 3. This module describes, in general terms, the basic structure and syntax of CSS stylesheets. It defines, in detail, the syntax and parsing of CSS – how to turn a stream of bytes into a meaningful stylesheet.
