Today’s @tag meeting:

An in-depth discussion of proposed hrefTranslate, for a referring page to hint to the browser/UA that the user is likely to want it to translate the next page into a particular language.

Use cases include: Google Translate, which will assume you want the site you’re clicking on to be translated.

Thanks to @dtapuska@twitter.com & @chrishtr@twitter.com for joining us!

‪I like the parallels for us in health transformation here. Data for its own sake is useless.‬

‪Alice Hamilton’s work identifying the dangers of lead and toxins is a nice reminder that real value is in new ways of doing things. The evidence base that keeps us learning and evolving.‬

‪On pathologist Alice Hamilton (1869–1970)‬

‪“She felt it was one thing to get data & do good science but then you weren’t really finished unless something happened…unless you could use that knowledge to improve labor standards & other [necessary] things.”‬

‪Citation: Data Sharing and Management Snafu in 3 Short Acts‬

‪By ‬Karen Hanson, Alisa Surkis and Karen Yacobucci. This is what shouldn't happen when a researcher makes a data sharing request! Topics include storage, documentation, and file formats.

#OpenResearch (h/t @danbri)

‪This is hilariously bad. And plausible.‬

‪“I read your article on B-cell function. I think I could use the data for my work on pancreatic cancer.”‬
‪“Everything you need is in the article.”‬
‪“No, what I need is the data.”‬

We the @tag are wrapping up our week at #W3CTPAC.

Minutes from what we've learned and what new work we're taking on:

https://cryptpad.w3ctag.org/code/#/2/code/view/cK7aImwuHP-jMooqat96cqyF-jkcRD6qNl7+BYAC9TI/

I'm starting day 5 (final day! Always a sad moment) of #w3ctpac with a joint @wicg_ / @w3ctag meeting, working out how/when we the TAG can best help with early, incubating ideas for features for the web.

I'm with the JSON-LD working group, who are looking for ways to represent text using languages that are both left-to-right (like English) and right-to-left (like Arabic).

#TPAC2019

#i18n Explanation: https://www.w3.org/International/talks/1810-paris/#metadata

Draft proposal:
https://w3c.github.io/rdf-dir-literal/

.@ChromiumDev@twitter.com's 2nd proposal:

PIGIN: The browser joins me as user to an "interest group" to tell advertisers what we might respond to–based on something it saw me do, like put an item into a shopping cart
https://github.com/michaelkleber/pigin

More concerns on how much info on "me as user" may be detectable.

#tpac2019

In a session exploring @ChromiumDev@twitter.com's proposal for grouping users by characteristics, to tell advertisers what kind of ads they might respond to.
FLoC https://github.com/jkarlin/floc

A number of concerns in the room re the value/danger in advertisers knowing things about us.
