The @w3c WebDX #CommunityGroup has been working on a cartography of the Web Platform as a set of features, with focus on surfacing the interoperable ones based on their implementation status across browsers. This work is at the core of this @MDN baseline concept https://twitter.com/MozDevNet/status/1656391302030712836

The Baseline badge provides a quick and convenient way to determine the reliability of using a particular feature or #API in your website or #WebApps. This proposed approach at identifying a baseline aims to provide clear guidance for #developers

At the moment, only a few of the many features described on @MDN expose this Baseline badge, as a way to solicit initial feedback from developers. For example, check the grid CSS property documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/grid

Co-chairs @dontcallmeDOM and @tidoust gave context and next steps in this Nov. 2022 article: https://www.w3.org/blog/2022/11/webdx-improving-the-experience-for-web-developers/

To ensure that the feature-set represents a useful signal for developers, we invite feedback and contributions in the related #GitHub repo: https://github.com/web-platform-dx/feature-set/issues

The RDF-star #WorkingGroup released a significant milestone in the #SemanticWeb and #LinkedData technology stack: 16 new specifications #FPWD #timetogiveinput
https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/rdf-star/publications
Let's dive into the details and understand why this is important 🧵👇 https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1658499893537693696

These 16 specs are new versions of previously existing recommendations from the former #RDF Working Group and #SPARQL, dating back to 2013-2014. The mission is to consider feedback from implementers and users to enhance these specifications. Improvement is a key focus!

With the inclusion of RDF-star, these specifications bring new features that allow making statements about statements. This capability bridges the gap between RDF and Labeled Property Graph models, opening up exciting possibilities for data representation and integration.

Note that two recommendations are not yet included in the list of working drafts: RDF 1.2 Semantics and SPARQL 1.2 Entailment Regimes. However, don't worry! They will follow soon, ensuring a comprehensive and up-to-date suite of specifications

RDF-star has gained in popularity and several implementations already support it, with variations in adoption. The RDF-star WG, building upon the work of the RDF-dev CG, aims to make RDF-star fully interoperable by integrating it into RDF 1.2 and SPARQL 1.2 #DataIntegration

📢 Congrats to editors Matt Garrish, Ivan Herman and @dauwhe for the newly published @w3c #WebStandard EPUB3.3, revolutionizing digital publishing #timetoadopt https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-33/ https://twitter.com/reidmore_online/status/1661722901169463297

📘 EPUB 3.3 is a distribution and interchange format for digital publications and documents. It enables the representation, packaging, and encoding of structured and semantically enhanced web content, including #HTML, #CSS, #SVG, and more, in a single-file container

👥 The @w3cpublishing collaboration with EPUBCheck #developers led to the creation of a comprehensive test suite. Get ready to use epubcheck version 5.0.1 with EPUB 3.3!
https://www.w3.org/publishing/epubcheck/

EPUB 3.3 maintains backward compatibility with EPUB 3.2. No need to make changes to your current publication workflows when moving from 3.2 to 3.3. #EPUB3

🌐 In an effort to enhance #accessibility, the EPUB Accessibility specification has been updated and it has become an integral part of the #EPUB standard. This aligns with the #EUAccessibilityAct, shaping the future of Digital Publishing
https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-a11y-11/
