Call for Participation in Character Description Language Community Group

The Character Description Language Community Group has been launched:


This group will develop Character Description Language (CDL), an XML application for stroke-based representation of any CJK character.

For more information about this technology, see:

* Character Description Language (CDL) draft specification: http://www.wenlin.com/cdl/

* Appendix F: “CJK Strokes Documentation” (Unicode 6.1): http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.1.0/appF.pdf


In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2014-08-13 by Richard Cook. The following people supported its creation: Richard Cook, Richard Ishida, Thomas Bishop, Yannis Haralambous, toshiya suzuki. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.

The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.

We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
