I think what you may be asking is "who sets the standards for html" and the answer is the World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/.
HTML standards are set by the World Wide Web Consortium. They've been setting standards for all versions of HTML since HTML 3.2.
W3C is the World Wide Web Consortium. It sets standards for the internet, including HTML. If a HTML page follows those standards then it is W3C compliant.
It is not owned by anyone as such. It is free to use. The World Wide Web Consortium are the organisation that designs it and sets standards for it.

Today the W3C produces XHTML standards. Their completed work can be found at http://www.w3.org/standards/techs/html#w3c_all. The original XHTML 1.0 specification is located at http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xhtml1-20020801, and an updated version 1.1 is at http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xhtml11-20010531.
