W3C Tutorial (1): Understanding W3C

W3C, an organization founded in 1994, aims to unleash the full potential of the web by promoting the development of common protocols and ensuring their interoperability.
W3C, an organization founded in 1994, aims to unleash the full potential of the web by promoting the development of common protocols and ensuring their interoperability. What is W3C? W3C refers to the World Wide Web Consortium . W3C was founded in October 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee. W3C is a membership organization . W3C's job is to standardize the web. W3C creates and maintains WWW standards. W3C standards are called W3C Recommendations. How was W3C created?
The World Wide Web was developed as a project at CERN, where Tim Berners-Lee developed a prototype of the World Wide Web.
Tim Berners-Lee - inventor of the World Wide Web - is currently the director of the World Wide Web Consortium.
W3C was created in 1994 as a collaborative effort between MIT and CERN, with support from the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the European Commission. Standardizing the web
W3C is committed to making the web accessible to all users, regardless of educational background, ability, financial resources, or physical disability.
W3C also works in collaboration with other standards organizations, such as the Internet Engineering Task Force, Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), and the Unicode Consortium.
W3C is jointly operated by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) in the United States, the European Research Consortium for Informatics Mathematics (ERCIM) headquartered in France, and Keio University in Japan, with branch offices around the world. W3C Membership Because the Web is so important (both in terms of scope and investment) that its future should not be controlled by any single organization, W3C acts as a membership organization:
Some notable members include: IBM Microsoft America Online Apple Adobe Macromedia Sun Microsystems
W3C members include: software developers, content providers, enterprise users, communications companies, research institutions, research laboratories, standardization groups and governments. W3C Recommendations
The most important work of the W3C is the development of Web specifications (called Recommendations), which describe the communication protocols (such as HTML and XHTML) and other building blocks of the Web.
The development of each W3C Recommendation is done through Working Groups composed of members and invited experts. The working group is funded by companies and other organizations and creates a working draft and ultimately a proposed recommendation. Recommendations are generally submitted to W3C Members and the Director for formal approval.
In the next section, we explain the specification approval process.
