W3C Identifies how the Web will Transform the Digital Signage Industry

18 July 2012 | Archive

W3C announced today new momentum for making the Web the future interoperable platform for Digital Signage. W3C issued a summary of key topics and use cases for bringing Digital Signage to the Web, as well as a first gap analysis of enhancements to the Web to enable the transformation of the Digital Signage ecosystem. Digital signage covers a spectrum of display sizes and locations, from sports arenas and urban video terminals of every shape, to monitors in elevators, storefront windows, train stations, and public kiosks featuring rich interactivity. In June, an initial opportunity to discuss next-generation Web-based Digital Signage services drew industry stakeholders to a W3C Workshop "All Signs Point to the Web," hosted by NTT. Read the full press release about the Workshop report and join the Web-based Signage Business Group to develop use cases and requirements for standardization.

Two JSON-LD First Drafts Published

12 July 2012 | Archive

JSON has proven to be a highly useful object serialization and messaging format. JSON-LD harmonizes the representation of Linked Data in JSON by outlining a common JSON representation format for expressing directed graphs; mixing both Linked Data and non-Linked Data in a single document. The RDF Working Group has published two related First Public Working Drafts:

  • JSON-LD API 1.0 outlines an API and a set of algorithms for transforming JSON-LD documents in order to make them easier to work with in programming environments like JavaScript, Python, and Ruby.
  • JSON-LD Syntax 1.0 outlines a common JSON representation format for expressing directed graphs; mixing both Linked Data and non-Linked Data in a single document.
