ABSTRACT
During the year 1980, Tim Berners-Lee built ENQUIRE as a personal database of people using hypertext and software utilities to access the database. The objective was to share data globally without common machines and presentation software. He implemented this system on a newly acquired NeXT workstation. After the invention of supporting hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and a web browser named World Wide Web, the Žrst web server and page were created that described the project itself. It was further modiŽed to be used on any machine rather than NeXT. On August 6, 1991, Berners-Lee posted a short summary of the World Wide Web project on the alt.hypertext newsgroup. This date also marked the debut of the Web as a publicly available service on the Internet. According to the summary, the World Wide Web (WWW) project aimed to allow all links to be made to any information anywhere. He invited high-energy physicists and other experts to share data, news, and documentation. Inspired from the message, university-based scientiŽc departments and physics laboratories adopted the concept developed such as Fermilab (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory for high-energy physics, Batavia, IL) and SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Stanford University, Menlo Park, CA).
