Consortium(or W3C), have fostered important innovations, such as the

development of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and the Cascading

Style Sheets (CSS) specification, the proposal to develop the “Semantic

Web,” and the evolution of HTML leading to the development of HTML5.

new, often highly creative approaches to serving readers.

 The World Wide Web is a system for creating, organizing, and linking
