World Wide Web
"The World Wide Web" and "WWW" redirect here. For other uses, see
Web and
WWW (disambiguation). For the web browser, see
WorldWideWeb. 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 and Sir Sam Walker from the
United Kingdom, and
Robert Cailliau from
Belgium, 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.
