The World Wide Web (known as "WWW', "Web" or "W3") is the universe of
network-accessible information, the embodiment of human knowledge.
The World Wide Web began as a networked information project at
CERN, where Tim Berners-Lee, now Director
of the World Wide Web Consortium [W3C], developed a
vision of the project.
The Web has a body of software, and a set of protocols and conventions. Through
the use hypertext and multimedia techniques, the web is easy for anyone to
roam, browse, and contribute to. An early
talk about the Web gives some more background
on how the Web was originally conceived.
Members of the W3C team often give talks and presentations. In most cases,
you can find information and presentations on this web site contained within
the appropriate subject or activity area. This is
a collection of slides and presentations from the past several years.
What's on the Web? How do I find things? Pointers to the world's online
information, including the World Wide
Web Virtual Library [actively maintained documentation] and a list of
registered W3 servers.
There are many ways of doing this. The web needs both raw data -- fresh hypertext
or old plain text files, or smart servers giving views of existing databases.

Suggest that someone else does
Maybe you know a system or some information which you would like to see on
the web. Suggest to the person involved that they put up a W3 server.
Manage a subject area
If you know something of what's going on in a particular field, organization
or country, would you like to keep up-to-date an overview of online data?
