A bit of history…• The Web was created in 1990• Technically, it was a
combination of some concepts: • a network protocol (HTTP)• universal naming on the Internet
(URI)• a markup language for documents
with hyperlinking (HTML)• Around 1993 it caught up like
bushfire…

Why?• Technically, it was the right set of choices• The technology was free for everyone
• does anyone knows what gopher is?• There were vendor neutral standards for each of
the technology pieces• developers could rely on independent specifications, without
any vendor lock-in
![Page 4: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Standards are important…• See what happens because there is no electricity
standard around the World:
Mainland China Hong Kong
![Page 5: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Free and open standards are important…• The standard text itself should be freely available
• an ISO document may cost many hundred of dollars!• The technology in the standard should be royalty
free• implementers can work without a fear of being sued…
![Page 6: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

So: development of the Web needsfree and open standards
• And this is exactly what W3C is all about!• Goal: be the place where international, free and
open standards for the World Wide Web are developed

W3C is a membership organization• But: “to develop” is not like work in a research
institute…• W3C is a membership organization
• it has members (356) from all over the globe• companies, universities, public institutions, …• standards are developed in cooperation with them
• W3C itself has only a small staff (cca. 60)

W3C is international• Three “hosts” (in the US, France, and Japan)• 17 “offices” (including in China)
![Page 11: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

W3C staff plus offices is also international…

So what are the technologies at W3C?• In the old days, it was simple
• HTTP+HTML+URI = Web • But the Web has evolved a lot
• graphics, XML documents, multimedia, voice, Web2.0, Semantic Web, Mobile Web, security,…
• W3C technologies cover many of these areas

W3C internal structure
![Page 15: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Some areas of interest for today…• I will say a few words about
• “Interaction”: HTML, graphics, video.…• Internationalization• Mobile Web• Semantics Web
• There are of course more, but we have no time…
![Page 16: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Interaction: HTML5• (X)HTML has not be updated for a long time• Features are needed to handle new interaction
methods:• inclusion of video and audio• harmonization with graphics (SVG, Canvas) and maths• elements for dialogues, navigation, ... • additional features for forms• better specifications of corresponding Javascript API-s
![Page 17: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
HTML5• There are still too many differences among
browsers when it comes to rendering• A very precise and detailed processing description
is added to HTML5 to reduce these• Caveat: it will still take 1-2 years before this is
final…

Video on the Web• The Web became a global collaborative
communications medium through shared video• In April 2008: 84.4 million videos!• These videos can be on just about anything…

… or even full movies
![Page 24: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Video in HTML• Video in HTML4 is complex
• essentially, using <object>, which is complicated• Using the new <video> element in HTML5 should
be as simple as using <img>!• caveat: the encoding format may not always be royalty free• that is, alas!, outside of control of W3C…
• But there are some additional technical issues to handle• media addressing• media annotation
![Page 25: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Video and audio addressing
• Standard ways should be provided to identify• temporal fragment• spatial fragment
![Page 26: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Linking and annotating media content• There are many ways to annotate the content of,
say, an image• A standard way should be defined…
![Page 27: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Internationalization• Web technologies tend to be biased towards
“Western” habits • But the Web is International!• That means:
• it should work with all kinds of character sets (Arabic, Chinese, Mongolian, Thai, Japanese, Russian, …)
• one should be able to create document following local customs:
• bulleted lists• emphasis style• writing directions• …
![Page 28: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Internationalization at W3C• W3C has a separate
“activity” on internationalization (I18N)• checks and influences all
other specifications for possible problems
• provides tutorials, small articles on how to design Web sites properly for this
![Page 29: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Use Unicode!
![Page 30: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Unicode takes care of a lot of things…
<p>bahrain <span lang="ar" xml:lang="ar" title="Means egypt">مصر</span> kuwait</p>
• Is automatically generated by:
![Page 31: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
But not everything is done by Unicode• Need better control for:
• vertical writing and directions• bidirectional situations• non-Latin list styling• ruby
• Some of these are already part of HTML4 and CSS2
• Some of these are being worked on for HTML5 and CSS3

Mobile Web Initiative
• It requires some “education” to construct proper web sites for mobile devices• the content should be the
same and the rendering should be well separated
• MWI develops:• education materials, test
cases, “MobileOK” trustmarks, guides, …
![Page 43: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

The social context: mobile for developing society
• Track the social impact of mobile web in the developing world
• Ensure that standards are o.k.
![Page 47: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Mobile Web: there is also specification work• Standard ways to describe devices
• vocabulary, like display sizes, colour, input devices• an API to construct device description vocabularies
• Geolocation API (work not yet started)
![Page 48: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Semantic Web, a.k.a. Web of Data• The Web is not only a collection of pages…• … it also contains references to lots and lots of
data• XML, put into various databases, embedded in HTML pages,
annotation on images, …• Mashup sites already use that data… but it is a
tedious, repetitive work for each data source
![Page 49: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

50
There is a need to…• Have standard approach to get to the data
programatically• Find relationships among the data• etc.
![Page 51: Introduction to the World Wide Web ConsortiumIntroduction to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Ivan Herman Zheijiang University, Hangzhou, China September 2, 2009 2 A bit of history…](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbda2477539a43ad9153402/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
