The HTML Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of W3C DOM4. DOM defines a platform-neutral model for events and node trees. Comments are welcome through 31 July 2014. Learn more about the HTML Activity.

The CSV on the Web Working Group, part of the Data Activity, has published two Working Drafts today:

• The Model for Tabular Data and Metadata on the Web outlines a basic data model, or infoset, for tabular data and metadata about that tabular data. The document also contains drafts for various methods of locating metadata; finally, it also contains some non-normative information about a best practice syntax for tabular data and for mapping into that data model. The work also contributes to the standardisation of CSV syntax by IETF (as a possible update of RFC4180).
• The Metadata Vocabulary for Tabular Data defines a vocabulary for metadata that annotates tabular data. This can be used to provide metadata at various levels, from collections of data from CSV documents and how they relate to each other down to individual cells within a table. The vocabulary is defined using JSON, in a manner compatible with JSON-LD. This document is a First Public Working Draft.

If you wish to make comments regarding these documents, please send them to public-csv-wg@w3.org.

Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) 1.0 was published today as a W3C Note by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (WCAG WG) and Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group (ERT WG), through the joint WCAG 2.0 Evaluation Methodology Task Force (Eval TF). WCAG-EM describes an approach for evaluating how websites, including Web applications and websites for mobile devices, conform to WCAG 2.0. WCAG-EM provides guidance for individuals and organizations that evaluate web accessibility, and is also useful for those that have others evaluate their website. Learn more from the WCAG-EM Overview and about the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
