  World Wide Web Consortium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium where member organisations, a full-time staff, and the public, work together to develop standards for the World Wide Web.
The Consortium is headed by Tim Berners-Lee, the original creator of the World Wide Web and primary author of the URL (Uniform Resource Locator), HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) and HTML (HyperText Markup Language) specifications, the principal technologies that form the basis of the Web.
The Consortium is jointly administered by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) in the USA, the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) (in Sophia Antipolis, France), and Keio University (in Japan).

 About W3C   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards.
In order for the Web to reach its full potential, the most fundamental Web technologies must be compatible with one another and allow any hardware and software used to access the Web to work together.
Berners-Lee, who invented the World Wide Web in 1989 while working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), has served as the W3C Director since W3C was founded, in 1994.

The World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C for short, is the committee which creates, reviews, and approves the technical specifications for the languages and protocols which form the architecture of the World Wide Web.
While the idea of the World Wide Web goes back to at least 1945, it is Tim Berners-Lee who is actually credited with turning the concept into a reality.
The World Wide Web is a massive project, and no one group can oversee the whole thing.

He began with the question, "Will the Web deserve its first two W’s?" He explained the progress that the consortium had made in attempting to achieve this goal was evidenced by the fact that the consortium is being hosted by three institutions.
Although the consortium is expanding their efforts to increase Web usage, Abramatic reminded his audience that less than two percent of the world population is connected to the Internet.
He concluded the interview stating that as more members join the Consortium, he hopes that the members can be organized into such teams in that the Consortium can continue to fulfill its promises to the public (7).

 CNN - World Wide Web Consortium combines HTML, XML into XHTML - January 28, 2000
As the Web is moving toward the XML direction, it became apparent that even the Web users of today and the Web authors of today using HTML want to be able to do more; they want to do more structurally, they want to reach more of the new users that are now demanding Web access."
As a W3C Recommendation, the XHTML 1.0 specification "is stable, contributes to Web interoperability, and has been reviewed by the W3C membership, who favor its adoption by the industry," according to the W3C.
The growing number of wireless and mobile devices, such as Internet-enabled cell phones and Palm-type handheld devices, was a major part of the impetus behind the W3C's recommendation of XHTML 1.0 as well as its continuing efforts to create XHTML 1.1.

Tim Berners-Lee floated the idea W3O at the first Web conference as an institutional imperative: he saw a need for an independent, neutral home for the Web in the face of increasing pressure from the physics-focus at CERN and the urgency of his corporate callers.
Web authoring and versioning required protocol support for uploading documents as well as metadata formats for describing sites, pages, and properties; W3C decided to focus on common metadata solutions and left WebDAV to IETF by default.
