Breaking-News >> TodayHistory The world's first website was born on November 1, 1989
On this day, 36 years ago, November 1, 1989 (October 4, 1989, the world's first website was born. One of the great revolutionary innovations of the Internet era is the World Wide Web, which originated in Europe and the Swiss headquarters of the research organization. Thirty years ago, British physicist Tim BernersLee proposed the preliminary idea of "global hypermedia information retrieval", which was used to create an interactive channel with users, based on the hypertext transfer protocol. Click links to get the corresponding resources. Although the page seems so crude to this day, it marks the birth of the World Wide Web. CERN says the world's first website is about technology, allowing early visitors to learn about the new system and create their own pages. Dan Noyes, network director of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, told AFP that the plan will allow future generations to understand the origin, importance and impact of the World Wide Web on modern life. Connection: The world's first page http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.htmlWWW The earliest network idea can be traced back to the distant 1980 ENQUIRE project built by Tim Berners-Lee. This is a hypertext online editing database similar to Wikipedia. Although this is very different from the World Wide Web we use today, they have many of the same core ideas, including some ideas in the next project after Berners-Lee's World Wide Web, the Semantic Web. In March 1989, Berners-Lee wrote the article "Suggestions on Information Management", which mentioned ENQUIRE and described a more sophisticated management model. On November 12, 1990, he collaborated with Robert Carrio to propose a more formal proposal for the World Wide Web. On November 13, 1990, he wrote the first web page on a NeXT workstation to implement the ideas in his paper. During the Christmas holiday that year, Berners-Lee built all the tools necessary to work on the Internet: the first World Wide Web browser (and editor) and the first web server. On August 6, 1991, he posted an article on the alt.hypertext newsgroup about the World Wide Web project. The day also marks the first appearance of the World Wide Web public service on the Internet. Hypertext, a crucial concept in the World Wide Web, originated from several former projects in the 1960s. Examples include Ted Nelson's Shenaduo Project and Douglas Ingbart's NLS. Both projects were inspired by Vanivar Bush's "memory extension" system for microfiche in his 1945 paper "As We Think". Another brilliant breakthrough for Tim Berners-Lee was grafting hypertext onto the Internet. In his book "Weaving the Web", he explained that he had repeatedly advised users of the two technologies that a combination was feasible, but no one responded to his suggestions, and he finally had to solve the plan himself. He invented a unique authentication system for global network resources: the Unified Resource Identifier. There are many differences between the World Wide Web and other hypertext systems: ① The World Wide Web requires a single connection rather than a two-way connection, which allows anyone to link to a resource without any action from the resource owner. This is crucial to reducing the difficulty of implementing web servers and web browsers compared to earlier web systems, but it has a side effect of creating chronic problems with bad chains.② Unlike some applications such as HyperCard, the World Wide Web is not proprietary, which allows servers and clients to develop and expand independently without licensing restrictions. On April 30, 1993, the European Organization for Nuclear Research announced that the World Wide Web would be free to anyone and would not charge any fees. Two months later, Gopher announced that it was no longer free, causing a large number of users to switch from Gopher to the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), also known as the W3C Council. It was established in October 1994 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computer Science Laboratory. The creator was Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. News raw data sources → https://www.abtool.cn/today_detail/1582.html 17WorldNews[2025.09.27-13:54] 访问:79
