 In 1988, the first direct IP link was established between Europe and North America, and Berners-Lee openly discussed the idea of a web-like system at CERN. Berners-Lee published "Information Management: A Proposal" on March 12, 1989. It was sent to CERN management for a system called "Mesh" with the reference ENQUIRE.[([[https://the-singapore-lgbt-encyclopaedia.fandom.com/wiki/World_Wide_Web|the-singapore-lgbt-encyclopaedia]])] In 1988, the first direct IP link was established between Europe and North America, and Berners-Lee openly discussed the idea of a web-like system at CERN.

 +===== Naming =====
 +
 +In 1980, he created a database and software project that utilized the name "web" and envisioned a more complex information management system based on links contained in readable text. He indicated that such a system may be referred to using one of the current definitions of the term hypertext, which he claims was coined in the 1950s. There is no reason why such hypertext connections could not also include multimedia content like as images, voice, and video, hence Berners-Lee uses the word hypermedia. On November 12, 1990, he made a more official proposal to establish a "Hypertext project" he termed "WorldWideWeb" with the assistance of his colleague and fellow hypertext enthusiast Robert Cailliau.[([[https://www.historyofdomains.com/worldwideweb/|historyofdomains]])]
 +
 +===== First Web Server =====
 +
 +The first Web server was roughly a month away from passing its first test. The CERN-licensed Dynatext system was a crucial player in the expansion of SGML ISO 8879:1986 to Hypermedia inside HyTime, but it was deemed too costly and had an unsuitable licensing policy for usage in the wider high energy physics community.[([[https://workforce.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Information_Technology/Computer_Applications/Introduction_to_Computer_Applications_and_Concepts_(Lumen)/05%3A_Communications_and_Information_Literacy/5.04%3A_Reading-_The_World_Wide_Web|workforce libretexts]])]
 +
 +===== NeXT Computer =====
 +
 +Berners-Lee used a NeXT Computer to create the world's first web server and the first web browser, WorldWideWeb, in 1990.[([[https://home.cern/science/computing/birth-web/short-history-web|Cern]])]
 +
 +===== Functioning Web =====
 +
 +Berners-Lee had created all of the technologies required for a functioning Web by Christmas 1990, the first web browser (including a web editor) and the first web server.[([[https://timeline.web.cern.ch/worlds-first-browsereditor-website-and-server-go-live-cern|Cern]])]
 +
 +===== First Web Site =====
 +
 +On December 20, 1990, the first web site, which outlined the project, was launched.[([[https://timeline.web.cern.ch/worlds-first-browsereditor-website-and-server-go-live-cern|Cern]])]
 +
 +===== First Web Site Lost =====
 +
 +The initial web page may have been lost, however Paul Jones of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in North Carolina revealed in May 2013 that Berners-Lee handed him what he claims is the earliest known web page during a 1991 visit to UNC. Jones kept it on a magneto-optical disk as well as his NeXT computer.[([[https://sils.unc.edu/news/2013/www-page-found|unc]])]
 +
 +===== Short Summary Of WWW =====
 +
 +On the newsgroup alt.hypertext on August 6, 1991, Berners-Lee released a brief overview of the World Wide Web project.[([[https://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/1991/08/art-6484.txt|w3]])]
 +
 +===== SPIRES-HEP Database =====
 +
 +The SPIRES-HEP database was hosted on the first server outside of Europe, at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in Palo Alto, California.[([[https://onthesquid.com/2014/11/how-steve-jobs-played-a-role-with-the-invention-of-the-world-wide-web/|onthesquid]])]
 +
 +===== Differences About Date =====
 +
 +The date of this occurrence varies greatly according to accounts. Berners-breakthrough Lee's was to connect hypertext to the Internet, according to the World Wide Web Consortium's chronology, but SLAC claims December 1991, as does a W3C article titled A Little History of the World Wide Web.[([[https://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/History.html|w3]])]
 +
 +===== Different Hypertext =====
 +
 +The World Wide Web differed significantly from other hypertext systems available at the time. The Web required just unidirectional connections rather than bidirectional ones, allowing anybody to link to another site without the owner of that resource taking any action. It also made it easier to create web servers and browsers, but it introduced the persistent problem of link rot.[([[https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~rwest/wikispeedia/wpcd/wp/w/World_Wide_Web.htm|mcgill]])]
 +
 +===== Mosaic Web Browser =====
 +
 +Scholars largely believe that the debut of the Mosaic web browser was a watershed moment for the World Wide Web. It was first launched in 1993.[([[https://www.viser.edu.rs/download/4500|viser]])]
 +
 +===== Developing Mosaic =====
 +
 +A graphical browser created by a team led by Marc Andreessen at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (NCSA-UIUC). Mosaic was funded by the United States High-Performance Computing and Communications Initiative and the High Performance Computing Act of 1991. Senator Al Gore of the United States pioneered major computer advances.[([[https://p2k.poltekbhani.ac.id/IT/1-3042-2939/Internet_9510_p2k-poltekbhani.html|poltekbhani]])]
 +
 +===== Developing Standards =====
 +
 +Other websites were formed all around the world thanks to the Internet. This prompted the establishment of worldwide protocols and formatting standards.[([[https://www.britannica.com/technology/Internet|britannica]])]
 +
 +===== Berners-Lee Semantic Web =====
 +
 +Berners-Lee remained active in driving the development of online standards, such as markup languages used to create web pages, and he pushed for his vision of a Semantic Web.[([[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312949715_The_semantic_web-computers_navigating_tomorrow's_web_will_understand_more_of_what's_going_on-making_it_more_likely_that_you'll_get_what_you_really_want|researchgate]])]
 +
 +===== World Wide Web Key Role =====
 +
 +The World Wide Web facilitated the distribution of information via the Internet in an easy-to-use and adaptable manner, and it consequently played a key role in popularizing Internet use. [([[https://fast-advices.com/how-did-the-world-wide-web-affect-communication/|fast-advices]])]
 +
 +===== WWW Is Not Internet =====
 +
 +Although the two names are sometimes used interchangeably, the World Wide Web is not identical with the Internet.[([[https://fast-advices.com/how-did-the-world-wide-web-affect-communication/|fast-advices]])]
 +
 +===== The Web =====
 +
 +The Web is a data space that contains hyperlinked documents and other resources designated by URIs. It is implemented as client and server software, with Internet protocols like as TCP/IP and HTTP being used.[([[https://www.w3.org/People/Frystyk/thesis/WWW.html|w3]])]
 +
 +===== Berners-Lee Knighted =====
 +
 +Queen Elizabeth II knighted Berners-Lee in 2004 for "services to the worldwide development of the Internet".[([[https://news.mit.edu/2004/berners-lee-knighted|MIT News]])]
