Standards

Web standards include many interdependent standards and specifications, some of which govern aspects of the Internet, not just the World Wide Web.

Web standards are developed by standards organizations —groups of interested and often competing parties chartered with the task of standardization—not technologies developed and declared to be a standard by a single individual or company. It is crucial to distinguish those specifications that are under development from the ones that already reached the final development status (in the case of W3C specifications, the highest maturity level).
