The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was established in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee at MIT. W3C develops web standards through a consensus process to ensure long-term growth of the web. It provides specifications on technologies like HTML, CSS, XML, and more. The standards cover areas like web design, architecture, semantic web, services, devices, and authoring tools. W3C also offers a markup validation service to check documents against specifications.
2. World wide web consortium (WC3) Established in October 1994 by Tim Berner-Lee in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer Science [MIT / LCS] in collaboration with CERN. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community that develops standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web.
3. Standards W3C develops technical specifications and guidelines through a process designed to and maximize consensus about the content of a technical report, to ensure high technical editorial quality, and to earn endorsement by W3C and the broader community.
4. W3C provides a number of views of its spescification By technology topic (such as “all the HTML-related specifications” By status (with recent publications at the top and then all specifications grouped bye status Bye date (most recent at the top) Bye group (who is working on the specification)
5. Web Design and Application Web Design and Applications involve the standards for building and rendering Web page Including HTML5, CSS,SVG,AJAX, and other technologies for Web Applications.
6. This section also includes information on how make pages accessible to people with disabilities (WCAG), internationalized, and work on mobile device
7. Web Architecture Focuses on the foundation technologies and principles which sustain the Web. - Including URIs and HTTP.
8. Semantic web Semantic web tecnologies enable people to create data store on the Web, buidvocabularies,and write rules for handling data.
9. XML Technology XML Technologie including XML, Xquery, XML Schema, XSLT, XSL-FO,Efficient XML Interchange(EXI), and other related standards.
10. Web of Services Web of services refers to message-based desing frequently found on the Web and in enterprise software. The Web of Services is based on technologies such as HTTP, XML, SOAP, WSDL, SPARQL, and others.
11. Web of Devices W3C is focusing on technologies to enable Web access using any device. This include Web access from mobile phones and other mobile devices as well as use web technology in consumer electronics, printers and interctive television, etc.
12. Browsers and Authoring Tool In this section user will find information useful when desingning browsers and authoring as well as search engine bots, aggregator, and inference engines.
13. The WC3 markup validation service Check the markup (HTML, XHTML, …) of Web documents
