World Wide Web Consortium's future will be driving semantic web, XML and mobile

摘要

It is 10 years since Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the web, and Michael Dertouzos, director of the Laboratory for Computer Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, set up the World Wide Web Consortium. They wanted the W3C to become an open forum to promote interoperability and to lead the web to its full potential through the recommendation of standards. The W3C can look back at successes that have helped to evolve the web towards a robust, scalable and adaptive infrastructure for the world of information. By producing specifications as well as guidelines, the W3C has made considerable progress towards achieving three important goals: universal access, design of the semantic web and the deployment of the web of trust.
