( HOTELMARKETING.COM , March 2013) 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. Web standards. Web standards are the formal, non-proprietary standards and other technical specifications that define and describe aspects of the World Wide Web. In recent years, the term has been more frequently associated with the trend of endorsing a set of standardized best practices for building web sites, and a philosophy of web design and development that includes those methods.[1] Overview[edit] Web standards include many interdependent standards and specifications, some of which govern aspects of the Internet, not just the World Wide Web. Even when not web-focused, such standards directly or indirectly affect the development and administration of web sites and web services.
Considerations include the interoperability, accessibility and usability of web pages and web sites. Web standards, in the broader sense, consist of the following: Common usage[edit] When web standards are discussed, the following publications are typically seen as foundational: Standards publications and bodies[edit] Ecma International. Ecma International is an international, private (membership-based) non-profit standards organization for information and communication systems.[1] It acquired its current name in 1994, when the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) changed its name to reflect the organization's global reach and activities.
As a consequence, the name is no longer considered an acronym and no longer uses full capitalization. The organization was originally founded in 1961 to standardize computer systems in Europe. Membership is open to large and small companies worldwide that produce, market or develop computer or communication systems, and have interest and experience in the areas addressed by the group's technical bodies. It is located in Geneva. Aims[edit] Unlike national standardization bodies, Ecma is a membership-based organization. For over 50 years Ecma has actively contributed to worldwide standardization in information technology and telecommunications. Standards[edit] See also[edit] Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. Prior to the establishment of ICANN primarily for this purpose in 1998, IANA was administered principally by Jon Postel at the Information Sciences Institute (ISI) of the University of Southern California (USC) situated at Marina Del Ray (Los Angeles), under a contract USC/ISI had with the United States Department of Defense, until ICANN was created to assume the responsibility under a United States Department of Commerce contract.
Responsibilities[edit] IANA is broadly responsible for the allocation of globally unique names and numbers that are used in Internet protocols that are published as Request for Comments documents. These documents describe methods, behaviors, research, or innovations applicable to the working of the Internet and Internet-connected systems. IANA also maintains a close liaison with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and RFC Editorial team in fulfilling this function. IP addresses[edit] Domain names[edit] Protocol parameters[edit] Time zone database[edit] International Organization for Standardization. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations.
Founded on 23 February 1947, the organization promotes worldwide proprietary, industrial and commercial standards. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland,[2] and as of 2013 works in 164 countries.[4] It was one of the first organizations granted general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. Name and abbreviations[edit] The three official languages of the ISO are English, French, and Russian.[3] The name of the organization in French is Organisation internationale de normalisation, and in Russian, Международная организация по стандартизации. Both the name "ISO" and the logo are registered trademarks, and their use is restricted.[7] History[edit] Plaque marking the building in Prague where the ISO's predecessor, the ISA, was founded.
Structure[edit] IEC joint committees[edit] ISO guides. Internet Engineering Task Force. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) develops and promotes voluntary Internet standards, in particular the standards that comprise the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP). It is an open standards organization, with no formal membership or membership requirements. All participants and managers are volunteers, though their work is usually funded by their employers or sponsors. The IETF started out as an activity supported by the US federal government, but since 1993 it has operated as a standards development function under the auspices of the Internet Society, an international membership-based non-profit organization.
Organization[edit] Rough consensus is the primary basis for decision making. There are no formal voting procedures. The working groups are organized into areas by subject matter. In December 2005 the IETF Trust was established to manage the copyrighted materials produced by the IETF.[10] Meetings[edit] The first IETF meeting was attended by 21 U.S. Operations[edit] Chairs[edit] World Wide Web Consortium. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web (abbreviated WWW or W3). Founded and currently led by Tim Berners-Lee,[3] the consortium is made up of member organizations which maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the World Wide Web. As of 7 September 2013[update], the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has 383 members.[2] W3C also engages in education and outreach, develops software and serves as an open forum for discussion about the Web.
History[edit] The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was founded by Tim Berners-Lee after he left the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in October, 1994. It was founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer Science (MIT/LCS) with support from the European Commission and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA),[3] which had pioneered the Internet and its predecessor ARPANET.
