EXI is a very compact representation for the <a href="/TR/2004/REC-xml-infoset-20040204/">Extensible Markup Language (XML) Information Set</a> that is intended to simultaneously optimize performance and the utilization of computational resources. Using a relatively simple algorithm, which is amenable to fast and compact implementation, and a small set of data types, it reliably produces efficient encodings of XML event streams. The primer and best practices documents complement the format specification. The best practices document also presents information suitable for the general reader interested in EXI's intended role in the expanding Web.

<div id="item264"><p> The Semantic Web Education and Outreach Interest Group has released a first Working Draft of a document explaining the effective use of URIs to enable the growth of the Semantic Web. URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) — more simply called "Web addresses" — are at the heart of the Web and also of the Semantic Web. <a href="/TR/2007/WD-cooluris-20071217/">Cool URIs for the Semantic Web</a> discusses two strategies for choosing URIs for the Semantic Web, gives pointers to several Web sites that use these solutions, and briefly discusses why several other alternatives are less effective. Comments on this draft are requested by 21 January, to be integrated into a final document at the end of the Group's charter.

More and more people are publishing high-quality video, social networks are sprouting up around Web-delivered media, and IPTV (Internet-based delivery of television programming) is maturing rapidly. These and other changes pose challenges to the underlying technologies and standards to support the platform-independent creation, authoring, encoding/decoding, and description of video. To ensure the success of video as a "first class citizen" of the Web, W3C has invited the community to explore how to build a solid architectural foundation that enables people to create, navigate, search, and distribute video, and to manage digital rights; see the <a href="/2007/08/video/agenda.html">full agenda</a>. W3C thanks Cisco for hosting the Workshop and to all the participants who sent <a href="/2007/08/video/papers.html">position papers</a>.</p></div>

XForms is an XML application that represents the next generation of forms for the Web. An XForms-based Web form gathers and processes XML data using an architecture that separates presentation, purpose and content. XForms is not a free-standing document type, but is intended to be integrated into other markup languages, such as XHTML, ODF, or SVG. The Working Group invites implementation experience of this technology from the community; see also the group's <a href="/MarkUp/Forms/wiki/Preliminary_XForms_1.1_Implementations">wiki for tracking XForms 1.1 implementations</a>.

The mission of this new instance of the XG is to propose a specification draft for an Emotion Markup Language, to document it in a way accessible to non-experts, and to illustrate its use in conjunction with a number of existing markups. Note that this document would <strong>not</strong> be a standards-track document until W3C charters a Working Group to develop it as a W3C Recommendation.

The XG is sponsored by W3C Members <abbr title="German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence GmbH">DFKI</abbr>; Deutsche Telekom T-Com; Image, Video and Multimedia Systems Lab; Loquendo, S.p.A.; Chinese Academy of Sciences; and SRI International. <a href="/Consortium/Member/List">W3C Members</a> may use this <a href="/2004/01/pp-impl/39402/join">form to join the group</a>.

The first specification defines the syntax and semantics of the SPARQL query language for RDF. SPARQL can be used to express queries across diverse data sources, whether the data is stored natively as RDF or viewed as RDF via middleware. The results of SPARQL queries can be results sets or RDF graphs; the second specification defines an XML format for the variable binding and boolean results formats. The third specification uses <a href="/TR/wsdl20/">WSDL 2.0</a> to describe an HTTP protocol for conveying SPARQL queries to an SPARQL query processing service and returning the query results to the party that made the request.

surrounding the creation, maintenance and use of device descriptions. It

identifies the main actors in the current model, explores their motivations

for participating, identifies the costs associated with participation and the

Logic Dialect </a>, <a href="/TR/2007/WD-rif-rdf-owl-20071030">RIF RDF and

|
|
Design - Placeholder</a>; the first two are First Public Working Drafts.
|
|
Basic Logic Dialect specifies a basic format that allows logic rules to be
|
|
exchanged between rule-based systems. Rules interchanged using the Rule
|
|
Interchange Format RIF may depend on or be used in combination with RDF data
|
|
and/or RDF Schema or OWL data models. RIF RDF and OWL Compatibility specifies
|
|
compatibility of RIF with the Semantic Web languages RDF and RDFS; in the
|
|
future the document will address OWL as well. Finally, the Placeholder
|
|
document resets expectations about the core RIF design. The Working Group has
|
|
decided that that the design previously published as <a href="/TR/2007/WD-rif-core-20070330/">RIF Core</a> is better considered as
|
|
the basis for Logic Rules, rather than all kinds of rules. In the future, a

The <a href="/2007/02/dmdwa-ws/">W3C Workshop on Declarative Models of
|
|
Distributed Web Applications</a> is underway 5-6 June in Dublin, Ireland.
|
|
"Attendees will discuss how developers can focus on applications and end-user
|
|
experience, leaving the details for how they are to be realized to tools that
|
|
deal with the capabilities and shortcomings of each device," said Dave
|
|
Raggett, <a href="/Consortium/Recruitment/Fellows">W3C Fellow</a>.
|
|
Declarative techniques promise to reduce the cost of building Web
|
|
applications for home, office and mobile environments. The Workshop is
|
|
looking at the role of XML and Semantic Web technologies in achieving that
|
|
goal, along with the challenges for dealing with security and privacy. The
|
|
Workshop is hosted by MobileAware with the support of the Irish State
|
|
Development Agency, Enterprise Ireland. Read the <a href="/2007/06/dwa-pressrelease">press release</a>, about <a href="/2003/08/Workshops/">W3C Workshops</a> and about the <a href="/2007/uwa/">Ubiquitous Web</a>. </p>

of elements in Web formats such as HTML. Elements may be mapped to script,

|
event handlers, CSS, and more complex content models. Content can be
|
|
re-ordered and wrapped so that for instance, complex CSS styles can be
|
|
applied to simple HTML or XHTML markup. XBL can be used to implement new DOM

interfaces and, with other specifications, to implement arbitrary tag sets as

widgets. Read about the <a href="/2006/rwc/">Rich Web Clients Activity</a>.
