The Syntactic and the Semantic Web

The World Wide Web (WWW) was developed in 1989 at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. It was Tim Berners-Lee who developed the first prototype of the World Wide Web intended to serve as an information system for physicists. By the end of 1990, Tim Berners-Lee had written the first browser to retrieve and view hypertext documents and wrote the first Web server—the software, which stores Web pages on a computer for others to access. The system was originally developed to allow information sharing within internationally dispersed working groups. The original WWW consisted of documents (i.e., Web pages) and links between documents. Browsers and Web server users grew. They became more and more attractive as an information sharing infrastructure. The Web became even more interesting as the amount of available abstract
