This module allows specifying colors in other color spaces than sRGB. It has been discussed during last year's #W3CWorkshop: https://www.w3.org/Graphics/Color/Workshop/

We invite public comments (through 2 August 2022) on the proposed charter for a 🆕 RDF-star #WorkingGroup: https://www.w3.org/2022/06/proposed-rdf-star-wg-charter.html #RDFstar
Why is it important? 🧵👇 https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1543855611045109760

RDF-star (née RDF*) was first introduced in 2014 by @olafhartig and Bryan Thompson as a more concise and usable alternative to reification ("statements about statements"): https://arxiv.org/abs/1406.3399

Since then, it has been adopted by an ever increasing number of #RDF implementations, both open-source and commercial: https://w3c.github.io/rdf-star/implementations.html

The ability of RDF-star to attach information to the *edges* of an RDF graph makes it a good candidate for bridging the gap between popular #PropertyGraph databases and the RDF world. In the age of #KnowledgeGraph, this increased interoperability will play a crucial role

For a year and half, the RDF-DEV #CommunityGroup worked on a report to explore how RDF-star could be integrated in the #RDF and #SPARQL @w3c #WebStandards: https://www.w3.org/2021/12/rdf-star.html
The proposed Working Group is the next step in this evolution.

Join the #WebXR #WorkingGroup! Its scope is to develop standardized #APIs to provide access to input and output capabilities commonly associated with XR hardware. Read more: https://www.w3.org/2022/07/immersive-web-wg-charter.html https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1545334026189283329

What are color gamuts❓ Read @svgeesus' blog post: https://svgees.us/blog/whatGamuts.html❗️ https://twitter.com/svgeesus/status/1548401193407246336

Web apps cannot easily leverage such an extended workspace though. The Multi-Screen Window Placement #API aims to fix this!

Operating systems let users extend their visual workspace through additional screens. Various platform #applications (slideshow apps, financial apps, conference room apps...) leverage this extended workplace to create better experiences: https://www.w3.org/TR/2022/WD-window-placement-20220630/ #timetogiveinput https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1542421407279218690

The API will allow #web applications to initiate a multi-#screen experience from a single transient user activation. This includes the ability to place content on specific screens and show an element fullscreen on a specific screen.

Congrats to editors @manusporny, @rhiaro, @peacekeeper and @drummondreed for the newly published @w3c #WebStandard "Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0": https://www.w3.org/TR/2022/REC-did-core-20220719/ #timetoadopt!! https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1549368259878723585

DIDs are a new type of identifier that do not require a centralized registry. It empowers everyone on the Web to generate their own identifiers and take control of their own #identity and relationships while also providing greater #security and #privacy

Coupled with #w3c Verifiable Credentials, DIDs are being used across a number of markets (such as governments, retailers, etc.) where #identification and #data authenticity is a concern. Read the numerous testimonials from W3C members and the industry: https://www.w3.org/2022/07/pressrelease-did-rec.html.en#testimonials

DIDs and DID documents can be adapted to any modern blockchain, distributed ledger, or other decentralized network capable of resolving a unique key into a unique value. Check the DID method registry for a list of known DID method specifications: https://w3c.github.io/did-spec-registries/#did-methods

DIDs are #URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject
