The HTMLWorking Group is creating HTML 5 to be the open, royalty-freespecification for rich Web content and Web applications. "HTML is of coursea very important standard," said Tim Berners-Lee, author of the firstversion of HTML and W3C Director. "I am glad to see that the community ofdevelopers, including browser vendors, is working together to create thebest possible path for the Web."

The groups encourage people to start by reading Web Content Accessibility and Mobile Web: Making a WebSite Accessible Both for People with Disabilities and for MobileDevices, which shows how design goals for accessibility and mobileaccess overlap. A third document, Experiences Shared by People withDisabilities and by People Using Mobile Devices, provides examples ofbarriers that people (without disabilities) face when interacting with Webcontent via mobile devices, and similar barriers for people withdisabilities using desktop computers.

Continuing TAG participants are NoahMendelsohn (IBM), David Orchard (BEA), Jonathan Rees (Science Commons),Norm Walsh (Sun), and Stuart Williams (HP), who co-Chairs the TAG with TimBerners-Lee. The mission of the TAG is to build consensus around principles of Web architecture andto interpret and clarify these principles when necessary, to resolve issuesinvolving general Web architecture brought to the TAG, and to helpcoordinate cross-technology architecture developments inside and outsideW3C. (Permalink ) 2008-01-15: Today, the World Wide WebConsortium made it easier to share and reuse data across application,enterprise, and community boundaries with the publication of three newSemantic Web standards for SPARQL (pronounced "sparkle"). SPARQL is the query language for the Semantic Web(see Semantic Web s(ERCIM) headquartered in France, Keio University in Japan, and hasadditional Offices worldwide." /> World Wide Web Consortium /**/ div.spot-image img { margin-bottom: 20px; } /**/ Leading the Web to Its Full Potential... ).SPARQL queries hide the details of data management, which lowers costs andincreases robustness of data integration on the Web. "Trying to use theSemantic Web without SPARQL is like trying to use a relational databasewithout SQL," explained Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director. There are already 14 implementations of thestandard, which is comprised of three W3C Recommendations: SPARQL Query Language for RDF, SPARQL Protocol for RDF, and SPARQL Query Results XML Format.

Using SMIL3.0, an author can describe the temporal behavior of a multimediapresentation, associate hyperlinks with media objects and describe thelayout of the presentation on a screen. The Working Group is building a test suite help ensure interoperableimplementation. Learn more about W3C work on Synchronized Multimedia (Permalink)
