 Dave Raggett
Current Position: W3C Fellow (Canon) 
Current Organisation:

W3C/Canon
Background: Over the last decade, I have been closely involved with the development of the core standards for the Web, following earlier work on hypertext and expert systems at HP Labs. I launched standards work on HTTP at the IETF and played a key role in work on HTML from 1992 onwards at both the IETF and subsequently the W3C. More recently, I switched my efforts to new frontiers to help fulfil the vision of a Web that is accessible from all kinds of devices and all means of access, including desktop and mobile devices, and visual, aural and tactile interfaces. On the software side, I am well known for HTML Tidy, an open source tool for fixing bugs and generally cleaning up HTML markup. Builder.com named me for their 1997 Web Innovator awards for my work on HTML. In January 2004, I received the Talk Hands award for my tutorials on HTML and CSS.

    • Current: I am currently W3C's activity lead for voice browsers and multimodal interaction. We are developing open standards that bring the benefits of Web technologies to call centers with markup languages such as VoiceXML. This enables companies to offer a greatly improved experience to their customers compared with traditional IVR solutions. In the mobile area, we are working on standards that will give users the means to interact with data services via a choice of keystrokes, handwriting and speaking. Multi-modal interaction is expected to provide significant benefits over mono-modal interaction, for instance, allowing end-users to use speech when their hands and eyes are busy. Speech input may be faster and more convenient than text entry on cell phone key pads. In other circumstances, the reverse may hold when social or environmental factors preclude the use of speech. Effective multimodal interaction is expected to help boost average revenue per user (ARPU), with benefits to both network operators and content developers.
