- The World Wide Web was invented by English engineer Tim Berners-Lee in 1990 while working at CERN in Switzerland. - He proposed a system of interlinked hypertext documents that could be accessed via the Internet using a web browser. - By Christmas 1990, Berners-Lee had created the first web browser, server, and pages, allowing the Web to launch as a publicly available service on the Internet.

2. "The Web" and "WWW" redirect here. For other uses, see WWW (disambiguation) . World Wide Web The Web's historic logo designed by Robert Cailliau Inventor Sir Tim Berners Lee [1] Launch year 1990 Company CERN Available? WorldwideThe World Wide Web , abbreviated as WWW and commonly known as the Web , is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet . With a web browser , one can view web pages that may contain text , images , videos , and other multimedia and navigate between them by using hyperlinks . Using concepts from earlier hypertext systems, English engineer and computer scientist Sir Tim Berners Lee , now the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium , wrote a proposal in March 1989 for what would eventually become the World Wide Web. [1] He was later joined by Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau while both were working at CERN in Geneva , Switzerland . In 1990, they proposed using "HyperText [...] to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will", [2] and released that web in December. [3] "The World-Wide Web (W3) was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, which would allow collaborators in remote sites to share their ideas and all aspects of a common project." [4] If two projects are independently created, rather than have a central figure make the changes, the two bodies of information could form into one cohesive piece of work.

3. History The proposal had been modeled after the Dynatext SGML reader, by Electronic Book Technology, a spin-off from the Institute for Research in Information and Scholarship at Brown University. The Dynatext system, licensed by CERN, was technically advanced and was a key player in the extension of SGML ISO 8879:1986 to Hypermedia within HyTime , but it was considered too expensive and had an inappropriate licensing policy for use in the general high energy physics community, namely a fee for each document and each document alteration. This NeXT Computer used by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN became the first web server. The CERN datacenter in 2010 housing some www servers. A NeXT Computer was used by Berners-Lee as the world's first web server and also to write the first web browser , WorldWideWeb , in 1990. By Christmas 1990, Berners-Lee had built all the tools necessary for a working Web: [7] the first web browser (which was a web editor as well), the first web server, and the first web pages [8] which described the project itself. On August 6, 1991, he posted a short summary of the World Wide Web project on the alt.hypertext newsgroup . [9] This date also marked the debut of the Web as a publicly available service on the Internet. The first server outside Europe was set up at SLAC to host the SPIRES-HEP database. Accounts differ substantially as to the date of this event. The World Wide Web Consortium says December 1992, [10] whereas SLAC itself claims 1991. [11] [12] This is supported by a W3C document entitled A Little History of the World Wide Web . [13] The crucial underlying concept of hypertext originated with older projects from the 1960s, such as the Hypertext Editing System (HES) at Brown University — among others Ted Nelson and Andries van Dam — Ted Nelson 's Project Xanadu and Douglas Engelbart 's oN -Line System (NLS). Both Nelson and Engelbart were in turn inspired by Vannevar Bush 's microfilm -based " memex ," which was described in the 1945 essay " As We May Think ".[ citation needed ]
