Cyber Glossary

Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.

World Wide Web Consortium

(W3C) founded by Tim Berners-Lee in 1994, an international group of companies that exists to create standards and enhance the Web. One of the main concerns of W3C is that the medium progresses together, in a single direction, rather than divide into many factions with dif-ferent goals.
