Information system that links pages and other resources…

Information system that links pages and other resources through hypertext, letting anyone browse them over the internet. It was proposed in 1989 by the British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee while he was working at CERN, near Geneva. He devised URLs, the HTTP protocol and the HTML language, and built the first browser and server. CERN released the software royalty-free in 1993, opening the way to billions of sites and users.
