Mission of W3C


Leading the Web to its Full Potential

W3C's long term goals for the Web are:

  1. Universal Access: To make the Web accessible to all by promoting technologies that take into account the vast differences in culture, education, ability, material resources, and physical limitations of users on all continents;
  2. Semantic Web: To develop a software environment that permits each user to make the best use of the resources available on the Web;
  3. Web of Trust: To guide the Web's development with careful consideration for the novel legal, commercial, and social issues raised by this technology.
