World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international consortium of companies involved with the Internet and the Web.

The W3C was founded in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee, the original architect of the World Wide Web. The organization’s purpose is to develop open standards so that the Web evolves in a single direction rather than being splintered among competing factions.

Specifications developed by the W3C include HTML, CSS, XML, XHTML, and the document object model (DOM), among many others.
