NASA Joins Web Consortium to Help Improve Universal Access
“NASA announced Thursday it has joined the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The consortium is an international organization that develops protocols, standards and guidelines to ensure universal Web access. “Standards will play a key role in making NASA’s content more accessible on the Internet and in the implementation of our Open Government plan,” said Chris Kemp, chief technology officer for Information Technology at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Additionally, standards nurture technology innovation. We are especially interested in participating in those areas where NASA’s ongoing technical requirements overlap with the W3C’s standardization efforts.”
