How does W3C contribute to eGovernment?
The Web has become the main channel for governments to deliver services to citizens and Web technologies are crucial in the relationships between governments, and governments and industry. Following interoperable, open Web standards helps ensure access to information by people with diverse capabilities, using a broad range of devices supplied by any vendor of their choice, and helps ensure that “the people’s data” will remain available long into the future. W3C has produced more than 90 Web standards in over 11 years. Governments are increasingly finding value in Web standards created at W3C and incorporating them into their policies.
