ABSTRACT

THE WEB AS SOFTWARE The World Wide Web (WWW) began in 1989, the brainchild of Tim Berners-Lee at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), to address the need for a collaborative tool to help scientists share knowledge. It was then offered to the entire Internet community for experimentation, and thus the WWW was born (Horton, Taylor, Ignacio, & Hoft, 1996, p. 13).
