Incubator Group Report: Rich Web Application Backplane

The Rich Web Application Backplane Incubator Group (XG) published their final report today. The report describes two areas of work undertaken by the XG; authoring patterns helpful in supporting high-function web applications in managing client-side data and user interaction control. In addition, a range of methods are considered for implementing such patterns in current browsers without requiring plug-ins or extensions using javascript-based markup behaviors. The Backplane XG recommends that a workshop be organized bringing together interested parties with an aim to creating a Working Group to define a standardized architecture and API for XML and HTML interaction formats implemented in Javascript. This publication is part of the Incubator Activity, a forum where W3C Members can innovate and experiment. This work is not on the W3C standards track.
