'''W3C''' is the {{tag|acronym}} for the '''World Wide Web Consortium'''; its communities include {{tag|Web development|web developers}}, implementers, and people who make the W3C specifications. The W3C has a formal track for making [https://www.w3.org/TR/ standards specifications], or 'specs'. The specs answer a lot of questions, but not all of them. | |||
<blockquote>The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop {{tag|Web}} standards. Led by Web inventor and Director {{Wp|Tim Berners-Lee|[Sir] Tim Berners-Lee}} and CEO Jeffrey Jaffe, W3C's mission is to lead the Web to its full potential.</blockquote> | |||
In general, the W3C invites the public to [[edit]] wiki sites they host. W3C Membership is not required, but you must have an account. Request a [https://www.w3.org/Help/Account/Request/Public Public W3C Account] to get started. Note that you must log in with your account in order to edit all wiki sites. | |||
{{Cquote|In [[:Category:1980s|1989]], [https://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/ Tim Berners-Lee] invented the {{tag|Web|World Wide Web}} (see the [https://www.w3.org/History/1989/proposal.html original proposal]). He coined the term 'World Wide Web', wrote the first World Wide Web server, 'httpd', and the first client program (a browser and editor), 'WorldWideWeb', in October [[:Category:1990s|1990]]. He wrote the first version of the 'HyperText Markup Language' ([[:Category:HTML|HTML]]), the document formatting language with the capability for hypertext links that became the primary publishing format for the Web. His initial specifications for URIs, {{Cambridge-Dictionary|http|HTTP}}, and HTML were refined and discussed in larger circles as Web technology spread. | |||
In October {{tag|Founded in 1994|1994}}, Tim Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at the {{tag|Massachusetts}} Institute of Technology, Laboratory for Computer Science [MIT/LCS] in collaboration with [https://www.cern.ch CERN], where the Web originated (see information on the [https://www.w3.org/Daemon/ original CERN Server]), with support from {{Wp|DARPA}} and the [https://ec.europa.eu/info/index_en European Commission]. In April 1995, [https://www.inria.fr INRIA (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique)] became the first [[:Category:Europe|European]] W3C host, followed by [https://www.keio.ac.jp/en/ Keio University of Japan] (Shonan Fujisawa Campus) in [[:Category:Asia|Asia]] in 1996. In [[:Category:Founded in 2003|2003]], [https://www.ercim.eu ERCIM (European Research Consortium in Informatics and Mathematics)] took over the role of European W3C Host from INRIA. In [[:Category:Founded in 2013|2013]], W3C [https://www.w3.org/2013/01/china-host.html.en announced] [https://ev.buaa.edu.cn Beihang University] as the fourth Host.|author=World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)|source=https://www.W3.org/Consortium/facts}} | |||
