W3C standards
Technical report advance procedure of the W3C is the group of actions and claims accompanied by W3C Working Groups for the purpose of Web technology unification. W3C uses this process to make the core of a technical report clear and obvious for all participants of the Web community and to achieve permanence and coherence of all specifications. It makes W3C really advantageous and indispensable for the worldwide Web. You can find more information in the W3C Process’s introduction.
Conformity with W3C is able to bring many substantial benefits to your website. The most important of them are mentioned below:
Web Architecture
This approach concentrates on the main concepts and technologies applied for maintenance of the Internet, which include such conceptual foundations as HTTP, URIs, etc.
Semantic Web
The regular worldwide Web which is used by the common users is based on the HTML-pages that can be extracted by people with the help of web-browsers. Semantic Web is a kind of Web that co-exists with the regular Internet, but it encodes and sorts the data in a certain way which helps the computers to process and to exchange data in the quickest and the most reasonable way. Semantic Web is a set of methods which helps the computers to do their work better on the global level. It is a part of W3C’s vision of the Internet of the future, which links all information on the Web in such way that any PC in the world is able to reach it within seconds or even faster. This conception uses such technologies as OWL, SKOS, SPARQL, and RDF.
Web Design and Applications
Web Design and Applications involve the standards for building and rendering Web pages, including HTML5, CSS, SVG, Ajax, and other technologies for Web Applications (WebApps). This section also includes information on how make pages accessible to people with disabilities (WCAG), internationalized, and work on mobile devices.
Standards
W3C standards define an Open Web Platform for application development that has the unprecedented potential to enable developers to build rich interactive experiences, powered by vast data stores, that are available on any device. Although the boundaries of the platform continue to evolve, industry leaders speak nearly in unison about how HTML5 will be the cornerstone for this platform. But the full strength of the platform relies on many more technologies that W3C and its partners are creating, including CSS, SVG, WOFF, the Semantic Web stack, XML, and a variety of APIs (From: w3.org/standards)
