Compound Document Formats
A Compound Document is the W3C term for a document that combines multiple formats, such as XHTML, SVG, SMIL and XForms. The W3C Compound Document Formats (CDF) Working Group will specify the behaviour of some format combinations, addressing the needs for an extensible and interoperable Web.
w3 - Interaction Domain
W3C’s Interaction Domain is responsible for developing technologies that shape the Web’s user interface. These technologies include (X)HTML, the markup language that started the Web. We also work on second-generation Web languages initiated at the W3C: CSS, MathML, SMIL and SVG and XForms all have become an integral part of the Web. Finally, we develop ways to integrate these components together into the Rich Web Clients of tomorrow.
W3C Interaction Domain technologies enable millions of people every day to browse the Web and to author Web content. Industry uses these technologies for purposes such as distributing information within an organization and creating new business opportunities.
“Combining the various XML markups and Web APIs developed by W3C into an integrated system is the next big challenge. We are already seeing the fruits of this work on both desktop and mobile platforms - and the future is even more exciting” Chris Lilley, Interaction Domain Leader
