In The Beginning .....
 World Wide Web (Tim Berners-Lee, 1989)
 universe of network-accessible information
 anyone, anywhere, anytime
 Client to server interactions

9
Web Page vs. Web Application
 Web Page(Site)
 HTML로 표현된 웹 문서(또는 페이지들을 제공)
 Web Application
 특정한 기능을 수행하도록 설계된 프로그램

10
Evolution of World Wide Web
 1단계 (1989~1999) : 웹사이트의 시대, HTML과 WAP
 HTML, URL, HTTP 라는 세 가지 기술에 기초한 웹 기술이 제안되고, 보다
나은 인간 중심의 정보처리 및 지식공유 등을 목표로 하는 단계
 2단계 (2000~2004) : XML과 웹서비스, 시맨틱 웹
 XML(eXtensible Markup Language)에 기반하며 인간 중심의 정보 처리뿐 아
니라 다양한 디바이스와 서비스, 멀티미디어를 연결하는 것을 목표로 하는
단계
 3단계 (2005~2009) : 웹 2.0, 웹 플랫폼 시대의 성장
 구글, 아마존, 위키피디아 등의 성공과 함께 웹 산업을 제2의 전성기로 이
끌며 다양한 신규 서비스가 등장할 수 있는 기반을 마련
 4단계 (2010~현재) : 웹 앱의 시대, 모바일과 N-Screen 시대
 스마트 폰 및 태블릿 등 다양한 모바일 기기들을 대상으로 HTML5와 Web
API를 통해 한 단계 진화된 웹 응용 환경을 제공하며, 위치정보 및 소셜 정
보 등을 결합하는 통합 응용 플랫폼으로서 웹이 자리잡아 가는 단계

People of W3C
http://www.w3.org/People/

19
How do W3C make Web Standards?
 We get ideas through submissions, workshops, business
groups, and community groups
 Only W3C Working Groups are producing W3C
Recommendations
 Standard track: W3C Recommendation Track
…as defined by the W3C Process.

20
From an idea to a Web standard

21
Community Groups, Business Groups and Workshops
 These are ways that we
get initial input into areas
for W3C Standards work
and each has its own
attributes

22
Group Types
 http://www.w3.org/community/about/agreements/compare/

23
Community Groups
 Started in 2011 to provide W3C umbrella for TECHNICAL
conversations for things that MAY be submitted to Rec Track
 Fast and easy to start, no fees involved, no Staff commitment,
W3C Membership not required
 To date there are 123 Community Groups
 Several CGs have made contributions to Rec Track work and stay
open to keep wokring on additional issues

24
CG Participation History
 A history of Community and Business Groups participation:

25
CG Achievements
 Did we help W3C create high quality, relevant standards?
 16 Groups with reports

W3C standards == Recommendation

38
How to Read W3C Specs
 Realize that W3C specifications are written for implementers, not
end users.
 Many specifications contain a section that tells how they are
organized and how you should read them.
 Know the vocabulary that specifications use.
 Remember that you don’t have to read every word. Skim for the
parts that make sense.
 Avoid discussions of namespaces.
 Learn to read BNF — it’s used in lots of places.
 Learn to read a DTD for answers to syntax questions.
 If a technology is scriptable, the information is in the bindings.

[FYI] Why RF IPR – from IBM
 RAND vs RF
 1995-2003 – RAND!
 2003- present – RF!
 IBM leads the world in patents
 Hard to change internal culture
 SW & HW have diff cultures w.r.t. IPR
 For SW…the key to shifting from RAND  RF
 RF Standards  Bigger Markets  More $$
 It’s a business decision!
• If standard activity is strategic, default = RF
 Glad to answer questions talk details later

62
IRC for Minutes and Chatter
 Internet Relay Chat
 To connect:
 Get an IRC client or use irc.w3.org
 Choose a nickname
 Choose a channel name (and, if required, password).

63
 http://www.w3.org/wiki/IRC

64
 A scribe taking minutes
 Can be helpful for people whose first language is not English.
 People "lining up" to ask questions with q+
 Other people making comments
 By default, what you type becomes part of the meeting record
 Unless you start with /me
 IRC "bots" doing useful things (saving minutes to Web page, connecting to
telephone bridge, managing speaker queue)

65
IRC - Zakim
 http://www.w3.org/2001/12/zakim-irc-bot.html#agenda
 The Zakim IRC "bot" is a Semantic Web agent ("swagent") that
helps facilitate meetings using IRC in conjunction with the W3C's
Zakim audio teleconference bridge.
 Commands
 /invite Zakim <channel>
 Zakim,

66
IRC- rrsagent
 http://www.w3.org/2002/03/RRSAgent
 RRSAgent is a helpful bot for recording an IRC session. All text
sent to the channel by any user is logged except '/me' text and
text send with logging explicitly turned off.
 Command
 /invite RRSAgent <channel>
 rrsagent, [please] excuse us
 rrsagent, bye
 rrsagent, [please] part
 rrsagent, [please] leave
 [rrsagent,] ACTION: <text>

67
IRC – trackbot
 http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/irc
 Tracker also comes with trackbot, an IRC bot to Assist with
creating actions during meetings (or other times). Over time, I
expect trackbot will evolve to learn other things, but for now
it's as simple as possible.
 Command
 /invite trackbot #channelname
 trackbot, start meeting
 trackbot, end meeting
 issue-50
 trackbot, ACTION-81?
 resolution-12
 ISSUE: Regular expression support needs a test suite
 action eileen: Propose new language for pragma handling

68
Teleconference cheat sheet
 Zakim is the teleconference bridge. The IRC bot helps with
participant, agenda, and queue management,
 RRSAgent records IRC discussion for later generation into
minutes. It can trigger Scribe to generate minutes, and also does
action tracking, though this has been superseded by Tracker.
 Scribe generates formatted minutes from the raw log recorded by
RRSAgent. It accepts many commands inline in the log. An online
interface is available to generate minutes after the fact.
 Tracker tracks issues and action items.
Source: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/wiki/Teleconference_cheat_sheet

69
Teleconference cheat sheet - Before
 Step 1: Invite trackbot, Zakim and RRSAgent
 trackbot, start telcon
 Normally the above is all that is needed to get the
teleconference going. The trackbot sets up the other
bots with standard meeting information. if the above
command doesn't work, it is necessary to set up the
bots manually.
 /invite Zakim #pf
 /invite rrsagent #pf
 Step 2: Set Meeting Info
 rrsagent, set logs world-visible (for groups with open
proceedings)
 rrsagent, set logs member-visible (for member-
confidential minutes)
 scribe: ZakimName
 ScribeNick: IRC_screen-name
 meeting: @@@ Weekly Teleconference
 chair: Real_Name
 agenda: URI
 Previous: URI (provides pointer to last minutes)
 present: (names separated by commas)
 regrets: (names separated by commas)
 rrsagent, pointer? (gives location of IRC log)
 zakim, Wrong_Name is Correct_Name
 2.1 Manually Entering An Agenda
 agenda: this
 agenda+ First Agenda Item
 agenda+ Second Agenda Item
 agenda+ Third Agenda Item
 repeat as necessary, then:
 agenda+ be done
 zakim, save agenda (after agenda entered)

70
Teleconference cheat sheet – During
 trackbot, status? (shows the users trackbot
knows about; use this to find the TrackbotName
for an individual on the call)
 ACTION: TrackbotName to ActionText - DueDate
 RESOLVED: (resolution text)
 RESOLUTION: (resolution text)
 zakim, Gregory_Rosmiata is Gregory_Rosmaita
 zakim, mute me
 zakim, unmute me
 correction syntax: s/rosmiata/rosmaita/
 note: correction syntax for the IRC tracker is a
sub-set of sed
 q+ (puts you in the speaker queue)
 q- (remove yourself from the speaker queue)
 q+ to ask ...
 q+ to say ...
 present+ Real_Name (to add late arrivals)
 present- PhoneCode (to remove coded IDs)
 regrets+ Real_Name for last minute regrets
 rrsagent, pointer? (gives location of IRC log)
 zakim, choose a victim (randomly assigns a task
to a participant)
 Switching Scribes:
 ScribeNick+ IRC_nick
 after-the-
fact: i/Text_Where_Scribe_Changed/ScribeNick:
IRC_name
 rrsagent, drop action # (to drop a malformed
action)
 close ISSUE-# (how to close an issue from IRC)
 close ACTION-# (how to close an action item
from IRC)
 trackbot, status? (shows the users trackbot
knows about)

71
Teleconference cheat sheet - After
 Turn RRSAgent Logging Off
 use the following command to turn RRSAgent's logging function off, so
that any bot instructions or side chatter that follows the meeting's
adjournment are not included in the meeting's log:
• rrsagent, stop log
 Creating Minutes:
 rrsagent, create minutes
 note: the following 5 commands are synonyms:
• rrsagent, draft minutes
• rrsagent, format minutes
• rrsagent, generate minutes
• rrsagent, make minutes
• rrsagent, publish minutes

72
DISMISSING ZAKIM AND RRSAGENT
 1) zakim, please part (this will result in the output of attendees)
 NOTE: non-staff members who are acting as scribe MUST effect any changes or corrections BEFORE
dismissing RRSAgent; staff can edit slash manipulate minutes by appending a comma and the word tools
to the URI for the minutes - for example:
 http://www.w3.org/YYYY/MM/DD-IRC_Channel-minutes.html,tools
 NOTE: the naming syntax for the automatically generated documents is:
 http://www.w3.org/YYYY/MM/DD-IRC_Channel-minutes.html
http://www.w3.org/YYYY/MM/DD-IRC_Channel-irc
 2) after dismissing zakim, issue an "RRSAgent, draft minutes" command to ensure that the
attendees list is correctly populated -- use the plus (+) and minus (-) syntax to add or delete
attendees, regrets, etc. -- remember that you MUST issue an "RRSAgent, draft minutes" command
in order for the bot to execute your instructions -- every time you do so, be sure to REFRESH the
document in the browser instance in which you are reviewing the draft minutes
 3) VERY LAST STEP: rrsagent, please part (logs actions and resolutions)
 4) email HTML and IRC log pointers to w3c-wai-pf@w3.org. Including a text dump of the minutes
is optional, although appreciated by many, and also needed for tracker to link issues referenced in
the minutes.

73
Mail & Mailing list
