W3C's Role In the Growth of a Proprietary Web

Paul Ellis writes "Mozilla's Asa Dotzler has said 'It's really hard for me to believe that either [Microsoft or Adobe] have the free and open Web at heart when they're actively subverting it with closed technologies like Flash and Silverlight.' But are they really subverting it? Where is the line between serving the consumer and subverting the Web? This blog post makes the case that the W3C's glacial process should share in the blame for the growth of proprietary technologies."

Using XML and Databases: W3C Standards in Practice

The key to effective XML content management is a flexible system architecture based on interoperability standards for data, services, and system integration. These standards serve as an intermediate middle layer allowing powerful tools to manage, process, access, and transform XML structured content in a cost effective manner.

HTML 5: A change in course... straight for the iceberg

The W3C recently released a working draft specification for HTML 5. In its current iteration, this is the worst specification I have ever read.

XSLT, Second Edition

After months of anticipation and delay, the W3C finally released the XSLT 2.0 standard in January 2007. The updated edition of this book offers practical, real-world examples that demonstrate how you can apply XSLT stylesheets to XML data using either the new specification, or the older XSLT 1.0 standard. Want to find out how the 2.0 specification improves on the old? This book will explain.

HTML 5 aims to formalise Semantic HTML

It's kind of hard to believe that it's almost been a decade since HTML 4.01 was made official. However, it has taken browsers a while to recognise the standard, and this process continues today. I was pleased to see that the W3C has released the first draft of HTML 5 with its goal of creating Semantic HTML.

Whats Up, .DOC? ODF, OOXML and the Revolutionary Implications of XML in Productivity Applications

Industry debate about the relative merits of OpenDocument Format (ODF) and Ecma 376 Office Open XML (OOXML) highlights the significance of the productivity application market shift from binary and proprietary file formats to vendor- and product-independent Extensible Markup Language (XML) models. The competitive stakes are huge, and the related political posturing is sometimes perplexing. In this overview, Research Directors Guy Creese and Peter O'Kelly introduce ODF, OOXML and related World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards, and project their implications for future productivity applications.

Processing Linked Web Data with XSLT

he Semantic Web is a grand vision for increasing the power of the web through better expression and management of context. Semantic Web developers are building a framework to open up and connect organized information, which takes advantage of many popular developments on the web, such as the success of Wikipedia, Creative Commons-licensed publishing on sites like Flickr, and various blogs. A portion of this framework is the Linking Open Data (LOD) community initiative (seeded by the W3C Semantic Web Education and Outreach group). A goal of LOD is to weave together separate collections of open data using deep linking and RDF (Resource Description Framework) representations.
