Other W3C Activities
This section provides an overview of some important and interesting W3C activities.
The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)
WAI defines guidelines for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities.
WAI works towards the goal of "Web accessibility for all" through technology, guidelines, tools, education, research, and development projects.
Mathematical Markup Language (MathML)
MathML is an XML standard for describing mathematical notation.
The goal of MathML is to enable mathematics to be served, received, and processed on the Web, just as HTML has enabled this functionality for text.
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
SVG is a language for describing two-dimensional graphics in XML.
SVG allows for three types of graphic objects: vector graphic shapes, images, and text.
Features include transformation, clipping paths, alpha masks, filter effects, template objects, and extensibility.
Ink Markup Language (InkML)
InkML is an XML data format for expressing digital ink data, which is input through an electronic pen or stylus as part of a multi-channel system.
Internationalization
The goal of W3C's internationalization activities is to advise and adapt any technology, agreement, guidelines, and activities within W3C and with other organizations, making W3C technologies easier to use globally across different languages, scripts, and cultures.
