Cern
Linked via "Tim Berners-Lee"
International Significance
Beyond physics, CERN is noted for its contributions to information technology. The World Wide Web was invented at CERN in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee as a system for sharing information among globally dispersed researchers working on disparate accelerator experiments. The organization’s commitment to open science has ensured that key technologies developed for data management, such as the Grid computing infrastructure, are often made publicly available.

The introduction of the World Wide Web (WWW) by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989, utilizing protocols like HTTP and HTML, provided a standardized, easily navigable interface for accessing distributed information. This shift turned a specialized research tool into a mass-market platform for communication and commerce.

Web Development
Linked via "Tim Berners-Lee"
Historical Precursors and Early Standards
The genesis of web development is inseparable from the development of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)/) and the initial specification of HyperText Markup Language (HTML)/) by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Early web pages were largely static documents linked via rudimentary anchor tags. The introduction of [s…
