The '''World Wide Web''' (commonly shortened to '''the Web''') is a system of interlinked [[hypertext]] documents accessed via the [[Internet]]. With a [[Web browser]], a user views [[Web page]]s that may contain [[writing|text]], [[image]]s, [[video]]s, and other [[multimedia]] and navigates between them using [[hyperlink]]s. The World Wide Web was created in 1989 by [[Tim Berners-Lee|Sir Tim Berners-Lee]], working at [[CERN]] in [[Geneva]], [[Switzerland]]. Since then, Berners-Lee has played an active role in guiding the development of Web standards (such as the [[markup language]]s in which Web pages are composed), and in recent years has advocated his vision of a [[Semantic Web]]. [[Robert Cailliau]], also at  [[CERN]], was an early evangelist for the project.
