Today, Yandex joined the World Wide Web Consortium . W3C develops and implements the most important and fundamental web standards, including HTML5 or newer versions of CSS. We will participate in the consortium in discussions and development of those of them that seem to us the most important and influencing what will be not only the Runet, but also the Internet as a whole. The Yandex representative at the W3C will be Charles McCathie Nevile .
Yandex has previously participated in the work of some W3C working groups. But it was difficult to call it full-fledged cooperation. Now we will act together with other big market players and will be able to directly influence the development of standards that affect the lives of our direct users. ')
For example, we will participate in the working group Geolocation . She is creating a standard that allows geolocation services to obtain information about the user's location so that he clearly understands who and why he is giving it. In addition, Yandex will be included in the HTML , Protocols and Formats , Patents and Standarts , Semantic Web and other working groups.
Yandex has long been one of the largest technology companies in Europe. And we understand that the way the Internet will develop depends largely on us. And the environment in which you work, you need not only to use, but also to help improve. We have the desire and opportunity for this.
