First Public Working Draft: Packaging on the Web

The Web Applications Working Group and the Technical Architecture Group have published a First Public Working Draft of Packaging on the Web. This document describes an approach for creating packages of files for use on the web. The approach is to package them using a new application/package media type. To access packages related to other files on the web, clients that understand packages of files look for a Link header or (in HTML documents) a <link> element with a new link relation of package. Other formats may define format-specific mechanisms for locating related packages. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity and the Technical Architecture Group.
