With RDFa 1.1 making its way out of last call, I looked at the examples from Google’s Webmaster Central to see what RDFa 1.1 brings to those. A typical example is the one on reviews; here s where it...

Web Tracking and User Privacy Workshop: Test Cases for Privacy on the Web
The level of interest and participation in last month's Workshop on Web Tracking and User Privacy — about a hundred attendees spanning multiple countries, dozens of companies, a wide variety of backgrounds — confirms the broad interest in Do Not Track. These discussions are test cases for how we will handle privacy on the Web and how standards can address complex issues involving both technology and policy.

Hash URIs
There's been quite a bit of discussion recently about the use of hash-bang URIs following their adoption by Gawker, and the ensuing downtime of that site. The TAG at the W3C have also been drafting a document on Repurposing the Hash Sign for the New Web which takes a rather wider view than just the hash-bang issue, and on which they are seeking comments. All matters of design involve weighing different choices against some criteria that you decide on implicitly or explicitly: there is no single right way of doing things on the web. Here, I explore the choices that are available to web developers around hash URIs and discuss how to mitigate the negative aspects of adopting the hash-bang pattern.

Open Web Platform Weekly Summary - 2011-04-25 - 2011-05-08
I have been busy the last two weeks with traveling for conferences and workshop. I skipped the last weekly summary of the Open Web Platform. Let’s get that right on track and give information for the last two weeks about HTML5 and broader topics such as Web apps discussions and HTTP. The May 22 deadline for entering Last Call is approaching quickly. In two weeks, a new challenging phase of the work is starting. As a reminder we do not exit a recommendation phase but always entering the next one.
