The   Verifiable Credentials Working Group   invites implementations of the following Candidate Recommendation Snapshots: Verifiable Credential Data Integrity 1.0  describes mechanisms for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of Verifiable Credentials and similar types of constrained digital documents using cryptography, especially through the use of digital signatures and related mathematical proofs. Data Integrity EdDSA Cryptosuites v1.0  describes a Data Integrity cryptographic suite for use when creating or verifying a digital signature using the twisted Edwards Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) and Curve25519 (ed25519). Data Integrity ECDSA Cryptosuites v1.0  describes a Data Integrity Cryptosuite for use when generating a digital signature using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). Verifiable Credentials JSON Schema Specification : Among other things, the  [VC-DATA-MODEL-2.0]  specifies the models used for Ver...

  W3C has approved the   updated 2023 Process Document , which takes effect today. The only change is expanding the W3C Technical Architecture Group ( TAG ) from 6 elected and 3 appointed participants to 8 elected and 3 appointed participants.  The TAG consists of: Tim Berners-Lee who is a life member; 3 participants appointed by the W3C Team; 8 participants elected by the W3C Advisory Committee following the  AB/TAG nomination and election process .  You can read the  Disposition of Comments  for rationale or peruse the  diff  from the previous version.  W3C Process Document is developed by the Advisory Board’s Process Task Force working within the  W3C Process Community Group . Comments and feedback on the Process Document may be sent as issues in the  public GitHub Repository .

  The   RDF Dataset Canonicalization and Hash Working Group   invites implementations of the   RDF Dataset Canonicalization   Candidate Recommendation Snapshot. RDF [ RDF11-CONCEPTS ] describes a graph-based data model for making claims about the world and provides the foundation for reasoning upon that graph of information. At times, it becomes necessary to compare the differences between sets of graphs, digitally sign them, or generate short identifiers for graphs via hashing algorithms. This document outlines an algorithm for normalizing   RDF datasets such that these operations can be performed.

  The   RDF Dataset Canonicalization and Hash Working Group   has published a Group Note of   RDF Dataset Canonicalization and Hash Working Group — Explainer and Use Cases.   This is a supporting document for the   RDF Dataset Canonicalization   specification, providing some extra explanation of the problem space and associated use cases.

  The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group ( AG WG ) published   Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2   as a W3C Recommendation. WCAG and supporting documents explain how to make content more accessible to people with disabilities. For an introduction to WCAG, see the  WCAG 2 Overview . WCAG 2.2 adds 9 requirements (called success criteria) since WCAG 2.1. These success criteria improve accessibility for people with visual, physical, and cognitive disabilities. For example, they expand guidance for touch input. To learn more about WCAG 2.2, see   What's New in WCAG 2.2 .

  The  Web & Networks Interest Group  has published a first Draft Note of  Client-Edge-Cloud coordination Use Cases and Requirements . This document explores how the traditional client/server architecture used by Web applications could be improved by including edge computing resources, based on use cases and requirements and what new interoperable technologies would be needed to that end.

  W3C released today the   2023 diversity report . As part of our commitment and continued focus on diversity and inclusion, since 2018 we annually report on gender and geographic diversity at W3C. We would like W3C to be a model of supporting diversity. As an international organization, we can see the immense value we gain from having greater gender diversity, and expertise from across multiple countries and cultures. The diversity of the whole world needs to be reflected, as 60% of the world is now online and as more people continue to access and use the Web that we develop the standards of, here together at the Web Consortium. We believe that more diversity means better representation, which leads to better and more inclusive design. Indeed, more background, more use cases, more edge cases, lead to a better Web. More diversity also brings higher quality results. This year again, we are able to financially help cover  TPAC 2023  meeting travel costs for three perso...
