A copy of the book near the NeXTcube used by Tim Berners-Lee as the first Web server on the World Wide Web, on display at Microcosm, the science museum at CERN. The early editions of this book contained 3,000 short pithy descriptions and was one of a set of 20 books. [3] The book was a popular addition to the Victorian (and
ENQUIRE was a software project written in 1980 by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN, [2] which was the predecessor to the World Wide Web. [2] [3] [4] It was a simple hypertext program [4] that had some of the same ideas as the Web and the Semantic Web but was different in several important ways.
The Virtual Library was started by Tim Berners-Lee creator of HTML and the World Wide Web itself, in 1991 at CERN in Geneva. [1] Unlike commercial index sites, it is run by a loose confederation of volunteers, who compile pages of key links for particular areas in which they are experts.

[222] In 1994, Berners-Lee became one of only six members of the World Wide Web Hall of Fame. [223]
In 1980, Tim Berners-Lee created ENQUIRE, an early hypertext database system somewhat like a wiki. The early 1980s also saw a number of experimental hypertext and hypermedia programs, many of whose features and terminology were later integrated into the Web. Guide was the first significant hypertext system for personal computers.
