Using a relatively simple algorithm, which is amenable to fast and compact implementation, and a small set of data types, it reliably produces efficient encodings of XML event streams.

  <div id="item261"><p> Video on the Web is hot! That is why Adobe, Apple, Canon, CBS Interactive, Cisco, Comcast, Disney, Hitachi, Motorola, Mozilla, Nokia, Opera, RealNetworks, Samsung, Sony, Sun, Turner Broadcasting, Web3D Consortium, YouTube, and other <a href="/2007/08/video/papers.html">industry leaders</a> have chosen to meet in San Jose (California) at the <a href="/2007/08/video/">W3C Video on the Web Workshop</a> on 12-13 December 2007 to discuss the video landscape. More and more people are publishing high-quality video, social networks are sprouting up around Web-delivered media, and IPTV (Internet-based delivery of television programming) is maturing rapidly. These and other changes pose challenges to the underlying technologies and standards to support the platform-independent creation, authoring, encoding/decoding, and description of video. To ensure the success of video as a "first class citizen" of the Web, W3C has invited the community to explore how to build a solid architectural foundation that enables people to create, navigate, search, and distribute video, and to manage digital rights; see the <a href="/2007/08/video/agenda.html">full agenda</a>. W3C thanks Cisco for hosting the Workshop and to all the participants who sent <a href="/2007/08/video/papers.html">position papers</a>.</p></div>

Basic Logic Dialect specifies a basic format that allows logic rules to be

Interchange Format RIF may depend on or be used in combination with RDF data
and/or RDF Schema or OWL data models. RIF RDF and OWL Compatibility specifies
compatibility of RIF with the Semantic Web languages RDF and RDFS; in the

document resets expectations about the core RIF design. The Working Group has
decided that that the design previously published as <a href="/TR/2007/WD-rif-core-20070330/">RIF Core</a> is better considered as
the basis for Logic Rules, rather than all kinds of rules. In the future, a

It can be used to measure processing efficiency and compactness, and includes
support for in-memory and network testing. The download includes over 100
documents ranging from a few bytes to several megabytes and covering over 20
different schemas, taken from the over ten thousand samples used by the

<p> The SVG Working Group published five
Working Drafts for version 1.2 of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), three
extending the language to add raster effects like drop shadows. First Public
Working Drafts include SVG Filter <a href="/TR/2007/WD-SVGFilterReqs12-20070501/">Requirements</a>, <a href="/TR/2007/WD-SVGFilterPrimer12-20070501/">Primer</a> and <a href="/TR/2007/WD-SVGFilter12-20070501/">Language</a>. Previously part of SVG
1.1 but published here as an independent module, SVG Filters are used to
process images before they are displayed. These filter effects are defined in
XML for SVG and can be used in other environments such as HTML styled with
<abbr title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</abbr>, or <abbr title="Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects">XSL:FO</abbr>.
Updated Working Drafts, SVG Print 1.2 <a href="/TR/2007/WD-SVGPrintPrimer12-20070501/">Primer</a> and <a href="/TR/2007/WD-SVGPrint12-20070501/">Language</a> extend the language for

<p> The World Wide Web Consortium today
released <a href="/TR/2007/REC-its-20070403/">Internationalization Tag Set
(ITS) Version 1.0</a> as a W3C Recommendation. Creators of <a href="/XML/">XML</a> content can use the ITS set of elements and attributes
to prepare schemas and documents for localization and to internationalize
them for a global audience. "Working with document formats internationally
becomes much easier, whether you are creating a new schema or working with an
established one," said Richard Ishida (W3C). Implementations provided for
DTDs, XML Schema and Relax NG, can be used with new or existing vocabularies
