Recommendations

A W3C Recommendation is a specification or set of guidelines that, after extensive consensus-building, has received the endorsement of W3C Members and the Director. W3C recommends the wide deployment of its Recommendations. Note: W3C Recommendations are similar to the standards published by other organizations.

 

Proposed Recommendations

A Proposed Recommendation is a mature technical report that, after wide review for technical soundness and implementability, W3C has sent to the W3C Advisory Committee for final endorsement.

There are currently no document at Proposed Recommendation Status.

Proposed Edited Recommendations

A Proposed Edited Recommendation is a technical report that W3C has published for community review of important changes, some of which may affect conformance. When there is consensus about the edits, the document is published as a Recommendation.

 

Candidate Recommendations

A Candidate Recommendation is a document that W3C believes has been widely reviewed and satisfies the Working Group's technical requirements. W3C publishes a Candidate Recommendation to gather implementation experience.

 

Working Drafts

A Working Draft is a document that W3C has published for review by the community, including W3C Members, the public, and other technical organizations. These are draft documents and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use W3C working drafts as reference material or to cite them as other than "work in progress".

Working Drafts in Last Call

A Working Group's Last Call announcement is a signal that:

The duration of the last call review period is listed in the status section of the document in review.

 

Working Drafts in development

 

Working Drafts no longer in development

These Working Drafts have either been dropped as work items or have been incorporated into other documents. The latest version of each of these documents should be an epilogue for the document. The status section of the epilogue explains why the work was discontinued or where the document was incorporated.

 

Group Notes

Group Notes are published by a chartered W3C Group to indicate that work has ended on a particular topic. A W3C Working Group may publish a Working Group Note with or without its prior publication as a Working Draft.

 

About W3C Technical Reports

As described in the Process Document, the Recommendation Track process is the set of steps and requirements followed by W3C Working Groups to standardize Web technology. The W3C Recommendation Track process is designed to maximize consensus about the content of a technical report, to ensure high technical and editorial quality, and to earn endorsement by W3C and the broader community.

Specifications developed within W3C must be formally approved by the Membership. Consensus is reached after a specification has proceeded through the review stages of Working Draft, Candidate Recommendation, Proposed Recommendation, and Recommendation.

Versioning

Each W3C Technical Report has two URIs associated with it, located at the beginning of the document:

  1. A "this version" URI, which identifies the specific document. W3C will make every effort to make a given document indefinitely available, in its original form, at its "this version" URI. W3C may correct broken markup and broken links in place (per the in-place modification policy) but otherwise will make every effort not to change content after publication of a document.
  2. A "latest version" URI, which identifies the most recently published draft in a document series. By document series we mean, for example, "all the drafts of the XML Schema 1.0 specification from First Public Working Draft to Recommendation."

We encourage you to consider carefully which of the two identifiers to use when referring to a W3C Technical Report. If you mean to refer to a particular document or passage "forever," please use the "this version" URI. If you need to refer to "whatever is the most up-to-date version", please use the "latest version" URI.

Technical Reports FAQ

These are some frequently asked questions (FAQ) about W3C Technical Reports. The W3C copyright FAQ, includes information about translations, mirroring, copying, etc.

  1. Where should I send comments about a specification?
  2. A Group is not reporting my objections. Whom should I contact?
  3. I can't uncompress the HTML 4 recommendation
  4. Where do I find the DTDs / Schemas for specification X?
  5. Where do I find the list of elements or attributes for specification X?
  6. Do you have a version of specification X that I can read offline?

1. Where should I send comments about a specification?

Each W3C Technical Report includes a "Status of this document" section near the front. In this section, you will find information about where to send comments.

2. A Group is not reporting my objections. Whom should I contact?

Groups are required to report objections to the Director and to document them publicly (per section 3.3.2 of the W3C Process Document). If an individual believes objections are not being adequately reported to the Director, the individual may raise concerns with the relevant Domain Lead. Please see the list of Domains, Activities, and Groups and contact information for Domain Leads.

3. I can't uncompress the zipped version of the specification

If you are having problems unzipping a file, it may be that your system has already unzipped it for you during the download without removing the ".gz" suffix. You may have to rename the already unzipped file by hand.

4. Where do I find the DTDs / Schemas for specification X?

Each specification defines its own DTDs, often in an appendix of the specification. There is a list of links to various W3C-defined DTDs in the W3C site index.

5. Where do I find the list of elements or attributes for specification X?

Specifications index elements differently. Most specifications include one or more DTDs, or document type definitions. A DTD defines the syntax of a language in technical terms. Some XML specifications include XML Schema definitions; a schema is another way to define the syntax of a language. Some specifications also include a simple list of element and attribute names for convenience.

W3C does not have a single page where all of the elements and attributes of all W3C Technical Reports are listed.

6. Do you have a version of specification X that I can read offline?

We encourage you to use your browser cache and other caching tools so that a separate offline version is not required. The W3C Communications Team does not have a general policy requiring a Working Group to provide a package for reading a specification offline.

Some Working Groups provide packages for reading a W3C Technical Report offline.

World Wide Web Journal (W3J)

The World Wide Web Journal, published quarterly by O'Reilly & Associates from 1995 through Winter 1998, was the official journal of the W3C. Please contact O'Reilly & Associates for information regarding availability of back issues.
