non-browser specific, non-resolution specific, creative and
informative sites that are accessible to all users
worldwide. To this end, the WDG offers material on a wide range
of HTML

"The W3C was founded in October 1994 to lead the World Wide Web to its
full potential by developing common protocols that promote its
evolution
and ensure its interoperability. We are an international industry
consortium, jointly hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology
Laboratory for Computer Science [MIT/LCS] in the United States; the
Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique
[INRIA]
in Europe; and the Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus in
Japan. Services provided by the Consortium include: a repository of
information
about the World Wide Web for developers and users; reference code
implementations to embody and promote standards; and various prototype
and
sample applications to demonstrate use of new technology. "
