End User History - http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/amrc/seeds/PeterHale/EndUserHistory.htm.
Recent, present and future research can enable the use of semantic web technologies, (developed from HTML by Tim Berners-Lee and others).
While at CERN, Tim Berners-Lee proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers. He then saw an opportunity to join hypertext with the Internet.
Tim Berners-Lee is the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Tim-Berners-Lee and W3C promote establishment of standards that can enable the 'Semantic Web', which allows both humans and computers to search and interact with pages more easily.

CERN - http://info.cern.ch/ - Welcome to info.cern.ch - The website of the world's first-ever web server - 1990 was a momentous year in world events. In February, Nelson Mandela was freed after 27 years in prison. In April, the space shuttle Discovery carried the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit. And in October, Germany was reunified. - Then at the end of 1990, a revolution took place that changed the way we live today. - CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is where it all began in March 1989. A physicist, Tim Berners-Lee, wrote a proposal for information management showing how information could be transferred easily over the Internet by using hypertext, the now familiar point-and-click system of navigating through information. The following year, Robert Cailliau, a systems engineer, joined in and soon became its number one advocate.
