w3orgConsortium
The W3C Consortium, often referred to as the World Wide Web Consortium or W3C, is the primary international standards organization for the World Wide Web. Founded in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, its mission is to lead the Web to its full potential by developing common protocols that promote its evolution and ensure its interoperability. The W3C achieves this by bringing together a wide range of stakeholders, including member organizations, full-time staff, and the public.
The organization develops specifications and guidelines in areas such as HTML, CSS, XML, and various web APIs.
