       documents, data, and resources.

Call for Review: Ontology for Media Resources 1.0 Proposed
Recommendation Published

   29 November 2011 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9274

   The Media Annotations Working Group has published a Proposed
   Recommendation of "Ontology for Media Resources 1.0." This
   document defines the Ontology for Media Resources 1.0. The term
   "Ontology" is used in its broadest possible definition: a core
   vocabulary. The intent of this vocabulary is to bridge the
   different descriptions of media resources, and provide a core
   set of descriptive properties. This document defines a core set
   of metadata properties for media resources, along with their
   mappings to elements from a set of existing metadata formats.
   Besides that, the document presents a Semantic Web compatible
   implementation of the abstract ontology using RDF/OWL. The
   document is mostly targeted towards media resources available
   on the Web, as opposed to media resources that are only

   http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9267

   The Media Annotations Working Group invites implementation of
   the Candidate Recommendation of "API for Media Resources 1.0."
   This specification defines an API to access metadata
   information related to media resources on the Web. The overall

   Recommendation phase. Learn more about the Video in the Web

   To address rising concerns about privacy on the Web, W3C
   publishes today two first drafts for standards that allow users
   to express preferences about online tracking:

     * Tracking Preference Expression (DNT), which defines
       mechanisms for users to express cross-site tracking
       preferences and for sites to indicate whether they honor
       these preferences.
     * Tracking Compliance and Scope Specification, which defines
       the meaning of a "Do Not Track" preference and sets out
       practices for websites to comply with this preference.

   These documents are the early work of a broad set of
   stakeholders in the W3C Tracking Protection Working Group,

   27 October 2011 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9246

   [] Next week, the W3C community meets in Santa Clara,
   California for TPAC 2011, W3C's annual face-to-face gathering
   to coordinate both technical and strategic directions for the
   organization. We anticipate more than 350 people will
   participate in Working Group meetings, an Advisory Committee
   meeting, and a Plenary Day organized this year as a
   participant-driven camp. In addition to two plenary sessions
   (on Web and Television, and Web Content Interoperability),
   participants will discuss a variety of breakout topics.
   Although participation in TPAC is limited to those already in
   W3C groups, the TPAC proceedings are public and will be made
   available shortly after the meeting. Follow the meeting on
   social networking sites with tag #tpac.
