Critical Musicology Journal:  A Virtual Journal on the Internet:  "Critical Musicology Journal, edited by Steve Sweeney-Turner, and published from the Department of Music at the University of Leeds, is a fully refereed critical musicology journal appearing exclusively on the Internet. Its purpose is to provide an ever-expanding library of texts (ranging from papers to books) which address the wide number of issues that have become part of the field of critical musicology. Given the diverse number of practices within critical musicology, Critical Musicology Journal is designed to encompass a plurality of topics, discourses, and methodologies. As such, the journal is divided into a number of sections which will themselves be constantly updated in order to reflect the constantly shifting boundaries of the discipline. Rather than dogmatically adopting a single party line, our purpose here is one of pragmatic, inclusive multiplicity.   A new addition to CMJ is a critical musicology e-mail discussion list, open to anyone with an interest in this field. This list is moderated."

We are an international industry consortium, jointly hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer Science [MIT/LCS] in the United States; the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique [INRIA] in Europe; and the Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus in Japan.  Services provided by the Consortium include:  a repository of information about the World Wide Web for developers and users; reference code implementations to embody and promote standards;  and various prototype and sample applications to demonstrate use of new technology.  Initially, the W3C was established in collaboration with CERN, where the Web originated, with support from DARPA and the European Commission.  For details on the joint initiative and the contributions of CERN, INRIA, and MIT, please see the statement on the joint World Wide Web Initiative.  The Consortium is led by Tim Berners-Lee, Director and creator of the World Wide Web, and Jean-François Abramatic, Chairman.  W3C is funded by Member organizations, and is vendor neutral, working with the global community to produce specifications and reference software that is made freely available throughout the world."
