The W3C, short for World Wide Web Consortium, was founded in 1994 to develop common standards and protocols for the World Wide Web. Jointly hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer Science (MIT/LCS) in the United States, the Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus in Asia, and the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA) in Europe, the W3C is a vendor neutral international industry consortium. Working with its staff and the global Web community, the W3C produces free, interoperable specifications and sample code, along with reference materials for the World Wide Web.
