# The W3C Vision: An Emphasis on Values

## Status of this Document
This document is an articulation
of the W3C’s mission, values, purpose, and principles;
in other words, our vision for W3C as an organization
in the context of our vision for the Web itself.
The goal of this vision is not to predict the future,
but to define shared principles to guide our decisions.

This document is not intended to be
an operational strategy for W3C Inc. as an organization:
such a strategy should take this Vision into account,
but it is not the Vision itself.

This document should not provide recommendations
for or against specific technologies:
technologies are not value neutral,
and preference for or against particular technologies
should be influenced by values as articulated here,
but this Vision should be a guide for thinking about such things,
rather than contain specific answers.

The goal of this document is to:

* Help the world understand what W3C is, what it does, and why it matters.
* Be opinionated enough to provide a helpful framework when making decisions,
particularly on controversial issues.
* Be grounded enough in the shared values of the W3C community
to represent the emergent consensus of most of our participants.
* Be timeless enough that it does not need frequent revision.

## Introduction
The World Wide Web was originally conceived
as a tool for sharing information.
