HTML 4.01 Specification HTML 4.01 Specification HTML 4.01 Specification W3C Proposed Recommendation This version: http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/PR-html40-19990824 (plain text [786Kb], gzip’ed tar archive of HTML files [367Kb], a .zip archive of HTML files [400Kb], gzip’ed Postscript file [740Kb, 387 pages], a PDF file [3Mb]) Latest version: http://www.w3.org/TR/html40 Previous version: http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424 Editors: Dave Raggett <[email protected]> Arnaud Le Hors <[email protected]> Ian Jacobs <[email protected]> Copyright © 1997-1999 W3C® (MIT, INRIA, Keio), All Rights Reserved. W3C liability, trademark, document use and software licensing rules apply. Abstract This specification defines the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), version 4.0 (subversion 4.01), the publishing language of the World Wide Web. In addition to the text, multimedia, and hyperlink features of the previous versions of HTML, HTML 4.01 supports more multimedia options, scripting languages, style sheets, better printing facilities, and documents that are more accessible to users with disabilities. HTML 4.01 also takes great strides towards the internationalization of documents, with the goal of making the Web truly World Wide. HTML 4.01 is an SGML application conforming to International Standard ISO 8879 -- Standard Generalized Markup Language [ISO8879] [p.351] . Status of this document This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. The latest status of this document series is maintained at the W3C. 1 24 Aug 1999 14:47 HTML 4.01 Specification This document is a revised version of the 4.0 Recommendation first released on 18 December 1997 and then revised 24 April 1998 Changes since the 24 April version [p.312] are not just editorial in nature. There have been some changes to the DTDs, for example. On 24 August 1999, this document enters a Proposed Recommendation review period. From that date until 22 September 1999, W3C Advisory Committee representatives are encouraged to review this specification and return comments in their completed ballots to [email protected]. Please send any comments of a confidential nature in separate email to [email protected], which is visible to the Team only. No sooner than 14 days after the end of the review period, the Director will announce the document’s disposition: it may become a W3C Recommendation (possibly with minor changes), it may revert to Working Draft status, or it may be dropped as a W3C work item. Publication as a Proposed Recommendation does not imply endorsement by the W3C membership. This is still a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite W3C Proposed Recommendation as other than "work in progress." W3C recommends that user agents and authors (and in particular, authoring tools) produce HTML 4.01 documents rather than HTML 3.2 documents (see [HTML32] [p.354] ). For reasons of backwards compatibility, W3C also recommends that tools interpreting HTML 4.01 continue to support HTML 3.2 and HTML 2.0 as well. This document has been produced as part of the W3C HTML Activity. The goals of the HTML Working Group (members only) are discussed in the HTML Working Group charter (members only). A list of current W3C Recommendations and other technical documents can be found at http://www.w3.org/TR. Public discussion on HTML features takes place on [email protected].

  • Using Emergent Team Structure to Focus Collaboration
    Using Emergent Team Structure to Focus Collaboration by Shawn Minto B.Sc, The University of British Columbia, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Science The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Computer Science) The University Of British Columbia January 30, 2007 © Shawn Minto 2007 ii Abstract To build successful complex software systems, developers must collaborate with each other to solve issues. To facilitate this collaboration specialized tools are being integrated into development environments. Although these tools facilitate collaboration, they do not foster it. The problem is that the tools require the developers to maintain a list of other developers with whom they may wish to communicate. In any given situation, it is the developer who must determine who within this list has expertise for the specific situation. Unless the team is small and static, maintaining the knowledge about who is expert in particular parts of the system is difficult. As many organizations are beginning to use agile development and distributed software practices, which result in teams with dynamic membership, maintaining this knowledge is impossible. This thesis investigates whether emergent team structure can be used to support collaboration amongst software developers. The membership of an emergent team is determined from analysis of software artifacts. We first show that emergent teams exist within a particular open-source software project, the Eclipse integrated development environment. We then present a tool called Emergent Expertise Locator (EEL) that uses emergent team information to propose experts to a developer within their development environment as the developer works. We validated this approach to support collaboration by applying our ap• proach to historical data gathered from the Eclipse project, Firefox and Bugzilla and comparing the results to an existing heuristic for recommending experts that produces a list of experts based on the revision history of individual files.

These documents contain significant amounts of structured data, which is largely unavailable to tools and applications. When publishers can express this data more completely, and when tools can read it, a new world of user functionality becomes available, letting users transfer structured data between applications and web sites, and allowing browsing applications to improve the user experience: an event on a web page can be directly imported - 1 - How to Read this Document RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing into a user’s desktop calendar; a license on a document can be detected so that users can be informed of their rights automatically; a photo’s creator, camera setting information, resolution, location and topic can be published as easily as the original photo itself, enabling structured search and sharing.

Copyright © 2011 W3C® (MIT, ERCIM, Keio), All Rights Reserved. W3C liability, trademark and document use rules apply. Abstract This specification defines Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 revision 1 (CSS 2.1). CSS 2.1 is a style sheet language that allows authors and users to attach style (e.g., fonts and spacing) to structured documents (e.g., HTML documents and XML applications). By separating the presentation style of documents from the content of documents, CSS 2.1 simplifies Web authoring and site maintenance. CSS 2.1 builds on CSS2 [CSS2] which builds on CSS1 [CSS1]. It supports media- specific style sheets so that authors may tailor the presentation of their documents to visual browsers, aural devices, printers, braille devices, handheld devices, etc. It also supports content positioning, table layout, features for internationalization and some properties related to user interface. CSS 2.1 corrects a few errors in CSS2 (the most important being a new definition of the height/width of absolutely positioned elements, more influence for HTML's "style" attribute and a new calculation of the 'clip' property), and adds a few highly requested features which have already been widely implemented.

  • Defining Data with DTD Schemas
    06_067232797X_ch03.qxd 10/18/05 9:41 AM Page 43 HOUR 3 Defining Data with DTD Schemas Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are. —Unknown One thing XML aims to solve is human error. Because of XML’s structure and rigidity as a language, there isn’t much room for error on the part of XML developers. If you’ve ever encountered an error at the bank (in their favor!), you can no doubt appreciate the significance of errors in critical computer systems. XML is rapidly being integrated into all kinds of computer systems, including financial systems used by banks. The rigidity of XML as a markup language will no doubt make these systems more robust. The facet of XML that allows errors to be detected is the schema, which is a construct that allows XML developers to define the format and structure of XML data. This hour introduces you to schemas, including the two major types that are used to define data for XML documents. The first of these schema types, DTDs, is examined in detail in this hour, while the latter is saved for a later lesson. This hour explores the inner workings of DTDs and shows you how to create DTDs from scratch. In this hour, you’ll learn . How XML allows you to create custom markup languages . The role of schemas in XML data modeling . The difference between the types of XML schemas . What constitutes valid and well-formed documents . How to declare elements and attributes in a DTD . How to create and use a DTD for a custom markup language Creating Your Own Markup Languages Before you get too far into this hour, I have to make a little confession.

Sobrino and Wolfgang Kainz Received: 18 October 2016; Accepted: 5 January 2017; Published: 11 January 2017 Abstract: The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Geography Markup Language (GML) explicitly represents geographical spatial knowledge in text mode. All kinds of fuzzy problems will inevitably be encountered in spatial knowledge expression. Especially for those expressions in text mode, this fuzziness will be broader. Describing and representing fuzziness in GML seems necessary. Three kinds of fuzziness in GML can be found: element fuzziness, chain fuzziness, and attribute fuzziness. Both element fuzziness and chain fuzziness belong to the reflection of the fuzziness between GML elements and, then, the representation of chain fuzziness can be replaced by the representation of element fuzziness in GML. On the basis of vague soft set theory, two kinds of modeling, vague soft set GML Document Type Definition (DTD) modeling and vague soft set GML schema modeling, are proposed for fuzzy modeling in GML DTD and GML schema, respectively.

Franklin Monteiro i GML and Complex Features Abstract Abstract 3BCFDC10-2A16-DED4.doc version 19/10/2001 ii/66 final Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are information systems that centre on geographic data, that is data related to a location on earth. In GISs geographic information usually is abstracted to features (geographic classes). The features are the units of geographic information. Developments in the GIS technology have indicated that connections between the GISs are required and a network of GISs over the internet is considered.
