What is W3C's Editor/Browser?

Amaya is an open source software task hosted by W3C. Amaya is a Web editor, i.e. a tool used to generate and update documents directly on the Web. Browsing features are faultlessly integrated with the editing and remote access features in uniform surroundings. This follows the original idea of the Web as a space for collaboration and not simply a one-way publishing medium.

Work on Amaya begins at W3C in 1996 to showcase Web technologies in a fully-featured Web client. The most important motivation for developing Amaya was to give a framework that can incorporate as many W3C technologies as possible. It is used to reveal these technologies in action while taking advantage of their grouping in a single, consistent environment.

Amaya begins as an HTML + CSS style sheets editor. Since that time it was extended to hold XML and a growing number of XML applications such as the XHTML family, MathML, and SVG. It allows all those vocabularies to be edited concurrently in compound documents.

Amaya contains a collaborative annotation application based on Resource Description Framework (RDF), XLink, and XPointer.
