Author(s) and publish date

Published:: 15 November 2005

W3C is pleased to announce the launch of the Rich Web Client Activity for client-side Web Application development. The Web APIs Working Group chaired by Robin Berjon (Expway) will document and build standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) such as XMLHttpRequest, an AJAX component. The Web Application Formats Working Group chaired by Art Barstow (Nokia) will develop declarative languages for Web Applications, building on existing technologies in the marketplace where possible. The Compound Document Formats Working Group chaired by Kevin Kelly (IBM) moves to this Activity, and continues to develop a framework for combined documents as well as profiles that use existing W3C formats. Participation in these groups is open to W3C Members.
