<p>W3C's Interaction Domain is responsible for developing
|
|
technologies that shape the Web's user interface. These
|
|
technologies include (X)HTML, the markup language that started
|
|
the Web. We also work on second-generation Web languages
|
|
initiated at the W3C: CSS, MathML, SMIL and SVG and XForms all
|
|
have become an integral part of the Web. Finally, we develop ways
|
|
to integrate these components together into the Rich Web Clients
|
|
of tomorrow.</p>
|
|
<p>W3C Interaction Domain technologies enable millions of people
|
|
every day to browse the Web and to author Web content. Industry
|
|
uses these technologies for purposes such as distributing
|
|
information within an organization and creating new business
|
|
opportunities.</p>

Mathematics is an essential aspect of science
|
|
and education. So, to realize the potential of the Web for science, it
|
|
must be possible to use mathematics on the Web. Mathematical
|
|
expressions must move seamlessly between the Web and a wide range of
|
|
environments including authoring tools, content management systems,
|
|
XML-based work flows, e-learning environments, and scientific
|
|
computing software.</p>
|
|
<p>W3C brought together key players and major stake holders and formed
|
|
the Math Working Group. It created and maintains the Mathematical
|
|
Markup Language (MathML), a highly structured, information-rich, XML
|
|
encoding for mathematical expressions.</p>
|
|
<p>MathML facilitates authoring and presentation of mathematical
|
|
expressions in print and on the screen, and forms the basis for
|
|
machine to machine communication of mathematics on the Web. MathML
|
|
provides two sets of tags, one for the presentation of mathematics and
|
|
the other associated with the meaning behind equations. MathML is not
|
|
designed for hand-editing; specialized tools provide the means for
|
|
typing and editing mathematical expressions.</p>
|
|
<p>The MathML 1.0 Recommendation appeared on 7 April 1998. The latest
|
|
version, version 3.0, became a Recommendation on 21 October 2010. It
|
|
is updated for Unicode 5, includes OpenMath Content Dictionaries, and
|
|
supports right-to-left writing, such as used in some countries with
|
|
Arabic script.</p>

<p>From the introduction of the
|

<a href="http://www.w3.org/2006/rwc/Activity.html">Rich Web Client Activity
|
|
Statement</a>:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p class="firstelement">The Rich Web Clients Activity contains the work within
|
|
W3C on Web Applications.</p>
|
|
<p>With the ubiquity of Web browsers and Web document formats across a range of
|
|
platforms and devices, many developers are using the Web as an application
|
|
environment. Examples of applications built on rich Web clients include
|
|
reservation systems, online shopping or auction sites, games, multimedia
|
|
applications, calendars, maps, chat applications, weather displays, clocks,
|
|
interactive design applications, stock tickers, office document and spreadsheet
|
|
applications, currency converters, and data entry/display systems. </p>
|
|
<p>Web client applications typically have some form of programmatic control.
|
|
They may run within the browser or within another host application. A Web
|
|
client application is typically downloaded on demand each time it is
|
|
"executed," allowing a developer to update the application for all users as
|
|
needed. Such applications are usually smaller than regular desktop applications
|
|
in terms of code size and functionality, and may have interactive rich
|
|
graphical interfaces.</p>
|
|
<p>The work of the Web Applications (WebApps) WG covers both APIs and formats.
|
|
APIs are the assorted scripting methods that are used to build rich Web
|
|
applications, mashups, Web 2.0 sites. Standardizing APIs improves
|
|
interoperability and reduces site development costs. Formats covers certain
|
|
markup languages, including Widgets for deploying small Web applications
|
|
outside the browser, and XBL for skinning applications.</p>

|
|
<p>Many people are accustomed to style sheets in word-processing. W3C's
|
|
<a href="./" shape="rect">style sheets</a> offer extensive control over the
|
|
presentation of Web pages. The <em>Cascading Style Sheets</em>
|
|
(<a href="CSS" shape="rect">CSS</a>) language is widely implemented. It is playing
|
|
an important role in styling not just HTML, but also many
|
|
kinds of XML documents: <a href="../MarkUp" shape="rect">XHTML</a>, <a href="../Graphics/SVG" shape="rect">SVG</a> (<em>Scalable Vector Graphics</em>) and
|
|
<a href="../AudioVideo/" shape="rect">SMIL</a> (the <em>Synchronized Multimedia

|
|
means of adapting pages to different devices, such as mobile phones or

|
printers.</p>
|
|
<p>W3C is also developing the <em>Extensible Stylesheet Language</em>
|
|
(<a href="XSL/" shape="rect">XSL</a>, see the <a href="../XML/Activity" shape="rect">XML
|
|

<p>From the introduction of the

<a href="http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/Activity.html">Synchronized Multimedia Activity
|
|
Statement</a>:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p class="firstelement">The Synchronized Multimedia Activity designed the
|
|
Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL, pronounced "smile") for
|
|
choreographing multimedia presentations where audio, video, text and graphics
|
|
are combined in real time. SMIL is a W3C Recommendation that enables authors to
|
|
specify and control the precise time a sentence is spoken and make it coincide
|
|
with the display of a given image.</p>
|
|
<p>The Synchronized Multimedia (SYMM) Working Group completed SMIL 1.0, SMIL
|
|
2.0 and SMIL 2.1 and is currently working on a new version (SMIL 3.0) which
|
|
adds the following new features through new modules:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>SMIL 3.0 smilText provides a new media type for use in SMIL
|
|
presentations.</li>
|
|
<li>SMIL 3.0 State provides a mechanism for the author to create more complex
|
|
control flow than what SMIL provides through the timing and content control
|
|
modules, without using a scripting language.</li>
|
|
<li>SMIL 3.0 DOM describes the SMIL 3.0 DOM support. SMIL is an XML-based
|
|
language and conforms to the (XML) DOM Core [DOM1], [DOM2]. A language
|
|
profile may include DOM support.</li>
|
|
<li>SMIL 3.0 External Timing defines an XML timing language that makes SMIL
|
|
3.0 element and attribute timing control available to a wide range of other
|
|
XML languages. Because of its similarity with external style and
|
|
positioning descriptions in the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) language, this
|
|
functionality has been termed SMIL Timesheets. It can be seen as a temporal
|
|
counterpart of CSS. Whereas CSS defines the spatial layout of the document
|
|
and formatting of the elements, SMIL Timesheets specify which elements are
|
|
active at a certain moment and what their temporal scope is within a
|
|
document.</li>

<p>The goal of this activity is to make video a <q>first class citizen</q> of
|
|
the Web. Video on the Web (and this includes audio, as the two are typically
|
|
used together) has seen explosive growth, improving the richness of the user
|
|
experience but leading to challenges in content discovery, searching, indexing
|
|
and accessibility. Enabling users (from individuals to large organizations) to
|
|
put video in the Web requires that we build a solid architectural foundation
|
|
that enables people to create, navigate, search, link and distribute video,
|
|
effectively making video part of the Web instead of an extension that doesn't
|
|
take full advantage of the Web architecture. </p>

<p>Fonts for Web documents come from different sources: they can

|
already be on the reader's machine, they can be carried inside the
|
|
document (possible with <a href="../Graphics/SVG/" shape="rect">SVG,</a> e.g.), or
|
|
they can be indicated with a link and downloaded on demand. That last
|
|
possibility exists in <a href="../Style/CSS/" shape="rect">CSS</a>
|
|
and <a href="../Graphics/SVG/" shape="rect">SVG</a> under the name
|
|
of <a href="Style/CSS/current-work.html#webfonts" shape="rect">Web Fonts</a> and is
|
|
in study for <a href="../Style/XSL/" shape="rect">XSL.</a> After a keyword that
|
|
occurs in CSS it's often also called @font-face.</p>

|
|
<p>From the introduction of the

<a href="http://www.w3.org/testing/Activity.html">Web Testing Activity
|
|
Statement</a>:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p class="firstelement">The role of the Web Testing activity is
|
|
to develop the testing mechanisms, outreach activities, and
|
|
collateral materials for testing Web technologies.</p>
|
|
<p class="firstelement">For the past 10 years, W3C has been
|
|
developing test suites for the purpose of demonstrating
|
|
interoperable implementations of each specification when
|
|
requesting the Director to approve a Proposed Recommendation
|
|
transition. For example, one of the most recent specifications,
|
|
CSS 2.1, has a test suite of around 9000 tests. Each Working
|
|
Group has been developing test suites and generating test
|
|
results in their own ways. Using ad-hoc processes and testing
|
|
methods, most of them did not attempt to reuse existing methods
|
|
or approaches. In the past, the Mobile Web Initiative did
|
|
produce a series of integrated test suites for the Mobile
|
|
platform and this kind of effort needs to be generalized across
|
|
W3C Working Groups.</p>
|
|
<p class="firstelement">With the new wave of developments in
|
|
the Open Web Platform, the increase diversity in devices, and
|
|
the increase in demands for real interoperability between the
|
|
technologies, it is important for W3C to step up its efforts
|
|
and coordinate the energies in testing new technologies like
|
|
HTML5, CSS3, ARIA, etc. There is a strong need for Web
|
|
technologies to work out "out of the box" on any devices
|
|
(Desktop, TV, mobile, tablet) and reliably in more consumer
|
|
oriented use cases, including accessibility.</p>
|
|
<p>The intent of the acitivty is to enable testing of the
|
|
various facets of Web agents: rendering, scripting, animation,
|
|
performance, user interaction, or integration with platform
|
|
APIs, such as Accessiblity APIs.</p>
