Vision
W3C's vision for the Web involves participation, sharing knowledge,
and
thereby building trust on

Web for Rich Interaction
The Web was invented as a communications tool intended to allow anyone_
anywhere to share information
For many years, the Web was a "read-only" tool
for many: Blogs and wikis brought more authors to the Web; and social
networking emerged from the flourishing market for content and personalized
Web experiences: W3C standards have supported this evolution thanks to
strong architecture and design principles.
