W3C Releases Unicorn, an All-in-One Validator

27 July 2010 | Archive

W3C is pleased to announce the release of Unicorn, a one-stop tool to help people improve the quality of their Web pages. Unicorn combines a number of popular tools in a single, easy interface, including the Markup validator, CSS validator, mobileOk checker, and Feed validator, which remain available as individual services as well. W3C invites developers to enhance the service by creating new modules and testing them in our online developer space (or installing Unicorn locally). W3C looks forward to code contributions from the community as well as suggestions for new features. W3C would like to thank the many people whose work has led up to this first release of Unicorn. This includes developers who started and improved the tool over the past few years, users who have provided feedback, translators who have helped localize the interface with 21 translations so far, and sponsors HP and Mozilla and other individual donors. W3C welcomes feedback and donations so that W3C can continue to expand this free service to the community. Learn more about W3C open source software.

Drafts of RDFa Core 1.1 and XHTML+RDFa 1.1 Published

03 August 2010 | Archive

The RDFa Working Group has just published two Working Drafts: RDFa Core 1.1 and XHTML+RDFa 1.1. RDFa Core 1.1 is a specification for attributes to express structured data in any markup language. The embedded data already available in the markup language (e.g., XHTML) is reused by the RDFa markup, so that publishers don't need to repeat significant data in the document content. XHTML+RDFa 1.1 is an XHTML family markup language. That extends the XHTML 1.1 markup language with the attributes defined in RDFa Core 1.1. This document is intended for authors who want to create XHTML-Family documents that embed rich semantic markup. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.

XHTML Modularization 1.1 - Second Edition is a W3C Recommendation

29 July 2010 | Archive

The XHTML2 Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation of XHTML Modularization 1.1 - Second Edition. XHTML Modularization is a tool for people who design markup languages. XHTML Modularization helps people design and manage markup language schemas and DTDs; it explains how to write schemas that will plug together. Modules can be reused and recombined across different languages, which helps keep related languages in sync. This edition includes several minor updates to provide clarifications and address errors found in version 1.1. Learn more about the HTML Activity.

Draft of Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) 1.0 Published

29 July 2010 | Archive

The Multimodal Interaction Working Group has published a Working Draft of Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) 1.0. As the web is becoming ubiquitous, interactive, and multimodal, technology needs to deal increasingly with human factors, including emotions. The present draft specification of Emotion Markup Language 1.0 aims to strike a balance between practical applicability and basis in science. The language is conceived as a "plug-in" language suitable for use in three different areas: (1) manual annotation of data; (2) automatic recognition of emotion-related states from user behavior; and (3) generation of emotion-related system behavior. Learn more about the Multimodal Interaction Activity.

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing Draft Published

27 July 2010 | Archive

The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working Draft of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. User agents commonly apply same-origin restrictions to network requests. These restrictions prevent a client-side Web application running from one origin from obtaining data retrieved from another origin, and also limit unsafe HTTP requests that can be automatically launched toward destinations that differ from the running application's origin. In user agents that follow this pattern, network requests typically use ambient authentication and session management information, including HTTP authentication and cookie information. This specification extends this model in a number of ways.Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.
