Web Standards

Posted by editor on May 23, 2008

The World Wide Web may not have a distinguishable set of boundaries and limits in its realm, however, one still needs to have a working knowledge of formal standards that help clarify and describe the various aspects of the Web. The term “web standards” is used to refer to the formal standards, technical specifications, and the effective practices for developing web sites. Some web standards include recommendations from the World Wide Web Consortium, requests for comments (RFC) documents from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), name and number registries from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), and standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Ecma International.
