  2. Timeline • 1965: • Ted Nelson coins the word "hypertext“ (later elaborated in his pioneering book Literary Machines) • 1967: • The Hypertext Editing System and FRESS, Brown University, Andy van Dam

  3. Timeline • 1968: • Doug Engelbart demo of NLS system at FJCC (Fall Joint Computer Conference) • 1975: • ZOG (now KMS): CMU • 1978: • Aspen Movie Map, first hypermedia videodisk, Andy Lippman, MIT Architecture Machine Group (now Media Lab)

  4. Timeline • 1984: • Filevision from Telos; limited hypermedia database widely available for the Macintosh • 1985: • Symbolics Document Examiner, Janet Walker • 1985: • Intermedia, Brown University, Norman Meyrowitz

  5. Timeline • 1986: • OWL introduces Guide, first widely available hypertext • 1987: • Apple introduces HyperCard, Bill Atkinson • 1987: • Hypertext'87 first major conference on hypertext

  6. Timeline • 1989: • First proposal for WWW made at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee • 1990: • Refined by Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau • Prototype software for a basic system was already being demonstrated • Access to Usenet newsgroups • Included simple browser

  7. Timeline • 1991: • Release of a simple WWW browser, an information server and a library implementing essential functions for developers • 1993: • There were around 50 known information servers • Two kinds of browser: • original development version, only available on NeXT machines • "line-mode“ browser, limited in power and user-friendliness

  8. Timeline • Early 1993: • National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois released a first version of their Mosaic browser • Shortly afterwards NCSA also released versions for the PC and Macintosh environments

  9. Timeline • Late 1993: • The European Commission approved its first Web project (WISE) • Over 500 known servers • WWW accounted for 1%

  10. Timeline • 1994: • "Year of the Web“ • World's First International World-Wide Web conference held at CERN (May) • Second conference held in the US (October), organized by NCSA and the International WWW Conference Committee (IW3C2) • 10,000 servers, of which 2,000 were commercial, and 10 million users • Traffic equivalent to shipping the entire collected works of Shakespeare every second

  11. Timeline • 1994: • CERN submitted a proposal to the Commission of the European Union under the ESPRIT program • Institute for Research in Computer Science and Controls (INRIA) takes up the Commission-funded "WebCore“ development project in Europe • Works in collaboration with the Laboratory of Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, where Berners-Lee has taken up a research appointment

  12. Timeline • 1997: • More than 650,000 servers • 1,000 new ones appearing every day
