The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international organization that creates standards for the World Wide Web. The WC3 is committed to improving the web by setting and promoting web-based standards.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) creates technical standards and guidelines for web technologies worldwide. These standards are intended to keep a consistent level of technical quality and compatibility concerning the World Wide Web. Developers who create web applications can have confidence in the tools they're using. An example of a W3C guidelines are Web browsers that use W3C standards, which enables them to interpret code such as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
W3C is designed to bring interested parties together from different areas of IT to work on developing web standards. The W3C also focuses on developing protocols and guidelines that help ensure the growth and longevity of the web. Developing new standards is a consensus-based process by different teams in the W3C, as these standards are intended to help ensure quality for web-based developers and end users. This helps ensure web applications built with these standards will work with all others and anyone can access them.
Founded in 1994 by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, the W3C is made up of several hundred member organizations from different IT industries. Berners-Lee currently serves as the director, and Dr. Jeff Jaffe is CEO. From an administrative sense, W3C is structured as a joint agreement among four host institutions: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), European Research Consortium for Infomatics and Mathematics (ERCIM), Keio University in Tokyo and Beihang University in China.
Although the WC3 doesn't have a traditional organizational structure or a single physical headquarters, it's led by a director and CEO, with a management team responsible for resource allocation and strategic planning. From a process sense, in addition to the director and CEO, the WC3 comprises an Advisory Committee, Advisory Board, a Technical Architecture Group and chartered groups.
