The World Wide Web (commonly shortened to the Web) is a system of
interlinked, hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a Web
browser, a user views Web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and
other multimedia and navigates between them using hyperlinks. The World
Wide Web was created in 1989 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, working at CERN in
Geneva, Switzerland. Since then, Berners-Lee has played an active role in
guiding the development of Web standards (such as the markup languages in
which Web pages are composed), and in recent years has advocated his vision
of a Semantic Web. Robert Cailliau, also at CERN, was an early evangelist
for the project.
