Web Experts Gather to Discuss Further Development of the Web Architecture
Day, provider of global content management software, today announced the accomplishment of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) Technical Architecture Group (TAG) meeting at Day’s headquarters in Basel, Switzerland, October 5-7. All current TAG members participated and discussed current and further developments of the World Wide Web. The TAG members include experts on Web architecture from all over the world, including Dan Connolly (W3C, MIT), Paul Cotton (Microsoft), Roy Fielding (Day), Chris Lilley (W3C, ERCIM), Noah Mendelsohn (IBM), Norman Walsh (Sun Microsystems), Stuart Williams (Hewlett-Packard), and Tim Berners-Lee (W3C, MIT), the inventor of the World Wide Web.
“The TAG thanks Day for hosting our meeting in Basel,” said Stuart Williams of Hewlett-Packard, co-chair of the TAG. “Moreover, we are delighted with Day’s contribution in supporting Roy Fielding’s active participation in the TAG as well as his work on Internet standards through the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).”
W3C was created in October 1994 to lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing common protocols and technologies that promote its evolution and ensure its interoperability. The TAG was created by W3C to document and build consensus around principles of Web architecture and to interpret and clarify these principles when necessary, to resolve issues involving general Web architecture brought to the TAG, and to help coordinate cross-technology architecture developments inside and outside W3C. The TAG’s meeting in Basel was focused on the document “Architecture of the World Wide Web” http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/ and related issues that have been noted by W3C members and other groups designing new Web technology.
“It is a great honor and pleasure for Day to have all these great Web experts in our headquarters and being part of their discussions,” said Michael Moppert, CEO of Day. “We are fully committed to Roy’s work for the TAG, which has a direct impact on our development in terms of architecture and standardization aiming for a more effective use of the Web for enterprises.”
