  1. W3C

  2. Origin & Mission Statement • In 1994, five years after inventing the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). • The mission of W3C is "To lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web." Though W3C has its detractors, most agree that the W3C today enjoys the respect and support of a wide range of key industries, organizations and individuals.

  4. On their website (w3c.org) • The social value of the Web is that it enables human communication, commerce, and opportunities to share knowledge. One of W3C's primary goals is to make these benefits available to all people, whatever their hardware, software, network infrastructure, native language, culture, geographical location, or physical or mental ability. • W3C's vision for the Web involves participation, sharing knowledge, and thereby building trust on a global scale. • The Web has transformed the way we communicate with each other. In doing so, it has also modified the nature of our social relationships. People now "meet on the Web" and carry out commercial and personal relationships, in some cases without ever meeting in person. W3C recognizes that trust is a social phenomenon, but technology design can foster trust and confidence. As more activity moves on-line, it will become even more important to support complex interactions among parties around the globe
