[W/K] :: World Wide Web Consortium

  World Wide Web Consortium
       
           (W3C) The main standards body for the
          World-Wide Web.  W3C works with the global community to
          establish international standards for client and server
          protocols that enable on-line commerce and communications on
          the Internet.  It also produces reference software.
       
          W3C was created by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
          (MIT) on 25 October 1994.  Netscape Communications
          Corporation was a founding member.  The Consortium is run by
          MIT LCS and INRIA, in collaboration with CERN where the
          web originated.  W3C is funded by industrial members but its
          products are freely available to all.  The director is Tim
          Berners-Lee who invented the World-Wide Web at the Center
          for European Particle Research (CERN).
