W3C: Leading the Web - and Web Services - to their Full Potential

The World Wide Web Consortium has earned the trust of the international community for developing open, interoperable, technical standards that serve as the foundation for the Web.

W3C's work in Web Services started long before the brand "Web Services" appeared. Progress continues today on critical components such as XML, XML Schema, XML Signatures, XML Encryption, SOAP 1.2, revisions of WSDL, and RDF. To ensure integration and interoperability, the W3C is defining the architecture for Web Services and coordinating efforts within and outside the Consortium. Web Services Working Groups conduct their technical work on public mailing lists and are chartered to produce royalty-free, open specifications.

This presentation provides both historical perspective and an update on current W3C work.
