Three Web Apps Specifications Advance to Proposed Recommendation

The Web Applications Working Group published three Proposed Recommendations :
  • The 'view-mode' Media Feature, which defines a media feature to match the different visual presentation modes that can be applied to web applications and thereby apply different styling based on these different modes using CSS Media Queries.
  • Widget Packaging and XML Configuration, which standardizes a packaging format and metadata for a class of software known as widgets. Unlike traditional user interface widgets (e.g., buttons, input boxes, toolbars, etc.), widgets as specified in this document are full-fledged client-side applications that are authored using technologies such as HTML and then packaged for distribution.
  • XML Digital Signatures for Widgets, which defines a profile of the XML Signature Syntax and Processing 1.1 specification to allow a widget package to be digitally signed. Authors and distributors can digitally sign a widget as a mechanism to ensure continuity of authorship and distributorship. A user agent, or other validation system, can use a digital signature to verify the data integrity of the files within a widget package and to confirm the signing key(s).

Open Task Forces to Discuss Web Schemas, Data Formats

The W3C's Semantic Web Interest Group has recently launched two new task forces to foster open collaboration and innovation in the world of web schemas and structured data. This move marks a significant step forward in enhancing how structured information is represented, shared, and understood across the web. A Shared Language for the Web At the center of this initiative is the growing adoption of schema.org , which provides a rich collection of schemas that webmasters can use to markup their pages in ways recognized by major search providers like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex. These schemas help search engines better understand content, leading to richer, more accurate search results and a more interconnected web. The widespread support for schema.org underscores the importance of a shared vocabulary for structured data. However, as the ecosystem evolves, so too must the tools and standards that support it.
