How it Started
The World Wide Web (WWW) began as a project at the European
Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), where Tim
Berners-Lee developed a vision of the World Wide Web.
Tim Berners-Lee - the inventor
of the World Wide Web - is now the Director of the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
W3C was created in 1994 as a
collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) and the European Organization for Nuclear
Research (CERN), with support from the U.S. Defense
Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) and the European
Commission.
Standardizing the Web
W3C is working to make the Web accessible to all users
(despite differences in culture, education, ability,
resources, and physical limitations)
W3C also coordinates its work
with many other standards organizations such as the
Internet Engineering Task Force, the Wireless Application
Protocols (WAP) Forum and the Unicode Consortium.
W3C is hosted by three universities:
- Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in the U.S.
- The French National Research
Institute in Europe
- Keio University in Japan
W3C Members
Because the Web is so important (both in scope and in
investment) that no single organization should have
control over its future, W3C functions as a member organization.
Some well known members are:
- IBM
- Microsoft
- America Online
- Apple
- Adobe
- Macromedia
- Sun Microsystems
The Full
List of Member Organisations includes a variety
of software vendors, content providers, corporate users,
telecommunications companies, academic institutions,
research laboratories, standards bodies, and governments.
