W3C Staff Kaz Ashimura wins TTC award for Information Communication Technology

visual identity for TPAC 2018W3C announced today it was offering Diversity Scholarships. The announcement was made as part of the publication of W3C top-level diversity statistics.
The lack of diversity in tech is a longstanding issue. We would like W3C to be a model of supporting diversity. As an international organization we can see the immense value we gain from having expertise from across multiple countries and cultures. Soon 50% of the world will be on the Web. We know we will need to reflect the diversity of the whole of our world as more and more people begin to access, use and continue to create the Web in all its full potential.
During the Spring W3C Advisory Committee Meeting, a panel on diversity focused on progress we have made and how much more is required. W3C has established a modest fund for TPAC Diversity Scholarships, sponsored by W3C Members Samsung Electronics, The Paciello Group, Consensus System and Microsoft.
Applicants must be from a traditionally underrepresented and/or marginalized group in the Web community, including but not limited to: persons identifying as LGBTQ, women, persons of color, and/or persons with disabilities; and be unable to attend without some financial assistance. Please submit or share with friends who qualify and might be interested, by 15 July.
If your organization or yourself wishes to become a sponsor, please e-mail us!

AI Tools for SEO in 2026: Best Ones for Keyword Research, Content Creation & Optimization

Image
With nearly 94% of marketers now using AI in their content workflows, 2026 has officially made AI-powered SEO the new standard. Traditional keyword stuffing and manual research are outdated.

Open Task Forces to Discuss Web Schemas, Data Formats

This move marks a significant step forward in enhancing how structured information is represented, shared, and understood across the web. A Shared Language for the Web At the center of this initiative is the growing adoption of schema.org , which provides a rich collection of schemas that webmasters can use to markup their pages in ways recognized by major search providers like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex. These schemas help search engines better understand content, leading to richer, more accurate search results and a more interconnected web. The widespread support for schema.org underscores the importance of a shared vocabulary for structured data. However, as the ecosystem evolves, so too must the tools and standards that support it. To address the complexities and opportunities ahead, two new task for...
