Technical Architecture Group
The W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG) is a special working group within the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) created in 2001 to: * 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; * to help coordinate cross-technology architecture developments inside and outside W3C. The TAG consists of inventor of the Web and W3C director Sir Tim Berners-Lee, engineers elected by W3C member organizations, as well as participants directly appointed by Tim Berners-Lee. Role and deliverables Today, the TAG's primary responsibilities are two-fold: # to conduct specification reviews ("design reviews") of new Web platform features, to ensure API design consistency, and respect for web users' security and privacy # to document the design principles of the Web platform, which is done in the ''Web Platform Design Principles'' document, the ...
