Web @ 25, W3C @ 20: An opportunity to reflect, and to look to the future

In 2014, the Web community is celebrating two anniversaries, the 25th Anniversary of the World Wide Web and the 20th Anniversary of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We launched our celebration officially last week. I would like to use this opportunity to reflect on the Web’s continuing and future impact on society. Today is also the first in a series of blogs that I will publish over the next several weeks. Subsequent posting will focus specifically on W3C, and its continuing and future role in enhancing the Web. In particular, I will write about:

• The role of W3C and current activity in standardizing the Open Web Platform (OWP)
• The future direction of the OWP
• Creating an agile Web standards ecosystem
