whitepaper "Getting Real" With RDF and SPARQL2008-09-23 JupiterMedia
  The "Getting Real" approach by Web 2.0 poster child 37signals reverses the usual development process (from model to code to user interface) by going "From brainstorm to user interface sketches to HTML to coding." Principles such as, "Don't write a functional specification," or "Essentials only" can help developers stay focused and thus reduce the time-to-launch. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) supports and accelerates many code-oriented aspects of Getting Real. For illustration, this paper describes how to create dooit, a simple to-do list manager (a nice type of software that is usually prone to feature creep during the design phase).

whitepaper Writing Functional Code With RDFa2008-09-04 JupiterMedia
  News feeds in all their manifestations - both with and without RDF - have a long tradition as structured data on the web. RDF - the data model - can state relations between certain entities. For example, one relation between a human and a feed could be conceived as creator. In contrast, HTML is about structure and presentation, the semantics of the conveyed data is not - and cannot - be represented. Presentation-oriented formats such as HTML are useful for users, but typically cause rather expensive back-end processing (along with heuristics). However, the RDF data model is useless without serialization syntaxes that are available to exchange representations online. To date, RDF/XML is the only official RDF serialization syntax that is available for developers to use.

whitepaper A 3D Exploration of the HTML Canvas Element2008-08-26 JupiterMedia
  Vector graphics abound on the web, and they come in a variety of formats, including Flash and SVG. HTML Canvas, one of the newer incarnations, occupies a different niche from other vector graphics systems. While SVG is a declarative graphics file format that can be rendered by any kind of program and Flash is built around a complete multimedia system (including browser plug-in libraries, the ActionScript scripting language, and content-creation tools), HTML Canvas is HTML. In fact, HTML Canvas is part of the upcoming HTML 5 specification. As such, the HTML Canvas is integrated into the DOM tree, which means it can be accessed from JavaScript. Thus, the HTML Canvas allows one to do many of the things that Flash and SVG renderers can do.

whitepaper Why Use a Web Content Management System?: (Instead of a HTML Editor)2008-06-01 SiteLeads.net
  A Content Management System (CMS) is a computer program used to create, edit, manage, and publish content in a consistently organized fashion. CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, versioning, and publishing documentation such as news articles, operators' manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, and marketing brochures. Today, they are most often used to control the contents of a website. Such a CMS is called a Web Content Management System (WCMS).

whitepaper Multiple Web Browser Image-Based Information Leak2008-05-01 HISPASEC SYSTEMS
  Multiple web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11, Opera 9.50 beta, Apple Safari 3.0.4 and Konqueror 3.5.8, contain unsafe image loading code. Exploiting the code leads to echoing a small, random, heap memory area on the screen - as image data. In case of the web browsers with fully implemented HTML5 tag functionality (Firefox and Opera), the image data can be collected, and sent to a remote server using a simple JavaScript script.

whitepaper Active XML, Security and Access Control2008-01-01 Tel Aviv University
  XML and Web services are revolutioning the automatic management of distributed information, somewhat in the same way that HTML, Web browsers and search engines modified human access to world wide information. This paper argues that the combination of XML and Web services allows for a novel distributed data management paradigm, where the exchanged information mixes materialized and intensional, active, information. The paper illustrates the flexibility of this approach by presenting Active XML, a language that is based on embedding Web service calls in XML data. The paper focuses on two particular issues, namely security and access control.

whitepaper Clustering Tags in Enterprise and Web Folksonomies2007-12-07 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Off late there has been massive growth in the use of tags as a simple, flexible way to categorize resources. Tags are often used collaboratively to help share information using website; such as del.icio.us. However, the number of tags used in such a service is extremely large, so the unstructured nature of tags limits their value when navigating these websites, and prevents users from fully exploiting tags added by others. Clustering similar tags can improve this by adding structure. This paper discusses techniques for deriving tag similarity and explains two tag clustering algorithms. The paper applies the algorithms to two datasets containing tags provided by users with common interests.
