The Web is VERY BIG...

But the Personal Web will fill in the Gaps...

Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee, OM, KBE, FRS, FREng, FRSA (born 8 June 1955),[1] also known as "TimBL," is a British computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web. He made a proposal for an information management system in March 1989,[3] and he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet sometime around mid November.[4]

pioneering work

MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

Mid '80s "Director" Software from Tony was used on the periphery of this lab at MIT...

MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (also CSAIL) is a research laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology formed by the 2003 merger of the Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Housed within the Stata Center, CSAIL is the largest on-campus laboratory as measured by research scope and membership.

World Wide Web Consortium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Founded by Tim Berners-Lee at MIT and currently headed by him,[2] the consortium is made up of member organizations which maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the World Wide Web. As of 29 March 2012, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has 351 members.[1]

W3C also engages in education and outreach, develops software and serves as an open forum for discussion about the Web.
