XForms

Chair: Steven Pemberton

The intention of this session is to introduce key elements of XForms, the new Forms Markup language for the Web, give some demonstrations, and above all to generate discussion on the design, use, and implementation of XForms.

XForms: Introduction and Overview
Steven Pemberton, W3C/CWI, chair of the W3C Forms working group

What is XForms, and why are so many industries already committing to it so soon? This talk gives a quick introduction, some demonstrations, and explains the advantages of XForms.

Using XForms
Mark Seaborne, Origo Services Ltd

XForms has been a recommendation for 7 months now. So how is it being implemented and used? This talk examines what it is like to be an author and user right now, to see if XForms is beginning to live up to its promise.

XForms: Usable And Accessible By Design
T. V. Raman, IBM Research

Interactive forms make up a key component in Web interaction. It is important to raise the level of abstraction at which such forms are authored in order to ensure that Web interaction remains usable and accessible across a variety of end-user devices.

Security
John M. Boyer, PureEdge Solutions

As the level of sophistication of mainstream web transactions increases, so too does both the necessity and the difficulty of creating auditable and non-repudiable transactions. In this presentation we will discuss the methodologies for solving this problem that are available in the W3C XML signatures recommendation as a means of beginning to address the security of XForms.

Implementation
Mark Birbeck, x-port.net

XForms is set to create a revolution in the way we build applications. No other programming language brings together XML loading and saving, schema validation, multimodal support, a web deployment model, and extensible function libraries, to name but some of XForms' capabilities. This part of the session will look at how XForms processors are implemented, and use a number of demonstrations to show why XForms processors will provide a solid backbone for the future of applications building.

Photography Markup

Chair: Greg Elin

This track will present and discuss emerging trends in intertwingingly photos and text with special attention paid to identifying who is in photo, annotating specific image regions, and adding Semantic Web metadata to imagines. Presenters and attendees will argue about the future.

• The W3Photo Project

  • Building a Semantic-Photo History of IW3C2 Conferences

  • Contributing, and using the archive royalty-free

  • Discussion of tools

• Beyond Dublin Core: Metadata for Images

  • Image-Region RDF

  • Event RDF (AKtive^TM Space, Mindswap)

  • FOAF and Photo-Codepiction

• Annotation Arguments for Newbies

  • How much standardization, or none at all?

  • Centralized v Distributed.

  • Semantic Labeling or Storytelling?

  • Predict the Future!

  • Moblog examples

  • Flickr.com - sharing photos while chatting

  • Multi-megapixel camera phones
    

Rules on the Web

Co-Chairs: Benjamin Grosof, Mike Dean, Harold Boley

This track will present tools and applications for rules on the web, including business policies, web services, and other applications. This includes use of rules in, or for, the (RDF, OWL) semantic web, as well as rules for the XML web, and rules in combination with web services and/or other web techniques/protocols.
