There is nothing you need to know about HTML5 from an MDM perspective. In future maybe HTML 5 might have some graphing tags which could be useful for Business Intelligence but at this point it is a far fetched dream. Anyways it is good to be aware of new technologies as you never know what you can benefit from.
What is HTML5?
HTML5 is the much needed upgrade to HTML. HTML5 will be the new standard for HTML, XHTML, and the HTML DOM. The previous version of HTML came in 1999. The web has changed a lot since then.
HTML5 is still a work in progress. Some rules for HTML5 were established:
- New features should be based on HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript
- Reduce the need for external plugins (like Flash)
- Better error handling
- More markup to replace scripting
- HTML5 should be device independent
- The development process should be visible to the public
New Features
Some of the most interesting new features in HTML5 are new tags for:
- The canvas element for drawing
- The video and audio elements for media playback
- Better support for local offline storage
- New content specific elements, like article, footer, header, nav, section
- New form controls, like calendar, date, time, email, url, search
Browser Support
HTML5 is not yet an official standard, and no browsers have full HTML5 support. But all major browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer) continue to add new HTML5 features to their latest versions.
