Colloquial Web
0 participants
Date Created: 2011-07-27
Status: The group closed on 12 December 2011 due to lack of agreement on shared goals. The Colloquial Web group evaluates existing practices amongst core web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It aims to give users and vendors clear reports on deployment and innovation for web applications. Example problem domains include continued use of deprecated constructs, the rise in external services for hosting solutions such as Google Web Fonts or MathJax, and comparing attitudes to RDFa and Microdata. The group researches the relationship between emerging social practices as regards existing technologies and their standards. A central research goal is to study and contribute to changing perceptions of conformance. Though broadly speaking the group has a bias towards empirical and descriptivist methods, it is not constrained to these approaches. It will not for example produce languages, but may create profiles of weighted technique matrices.

Electrophysiology of Vision Markup Language
0 participants
Date Created: 2011-09-02
Exchange of electrophysiological data for post-processing including in clinical trials is gaining increasing importance. Although manufacturers of electrophysiological devices usually provide means for exporting data, these are often restricted to either proprietary or ASCII-based formats which do not provide access to raw data or protocol details. With the need for central reading in multi-centre trials this becomes a major problem. The reading process usually requires all details of a measurement, to allow for properly monitoring compliance with study protocols. Standards for exchanging data have already been approved for other applications of electrmophysiology including EEG or ECG. However, these standards are usually focused on their specific field of application. Common standards are also available, like GDF (General Data Format for Biosignals), EDF (European Data Format), or HL7 and DICOM; however, these standards either do not match the specific requirements of ophthalmic electrophysiology or the efforts to adapt them are very high. Therefore we are proposing an open standard for the exchange of data for electrophysiology of vision based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Future of e-payments
0 participants
Date Created: 2012-06-20
This group was created to invent and support new and more secure methods for payments over the internet. Using one's credit card is insecure while using online pay through a third party is tedious, costly and not without legal issues. There is a huge demand for secure online paying. It is time to give the people what they want. It is time to turn the browser into a e-wallet.

Instant Syndicating Standards
0 participants
Date Created: 2012-06-07
Note: Work has moved to the Read Write Web Community Group. ISS/IM is an open set of standards that empowers individuals to discover and syndicate information through the help of their own personal social network. As of today, there is no existing technology that allows individuals to share information in a bottom-up manner on a global scale. ISS/IM is a proposal to create just that: a distributed worldwide recommender system perfectly tuned to output a very personalized stream of information for each individual, where information flows from the personal social network towards the whole wide world.
