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.
Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee (born 1955) is a British physicist and computer scientist. [221] In 1980, while working at CERN, he proposed a project using hypertext to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers. [222] While there, he built a prototype system named ENQUIRE. [223]
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was founded in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee after he left the European Organization for Nuclear Research in October 1994. [4] It was founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Laboratory for Computer Science with support from the European Commission, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which had pioneered the ARPANET, the most ...
There are a number of technical challenges to be surmounted to accomplish decentralizing the web, according to Berners-Lee's vision. [14] Rather than using a centralized spoke–hub distribution paradigm, decentralized peer-to-peer networking is implemented in a manner that adds more control and performance features than traditional peer-to-peer networks such as BitTorrent.

Tim Berners-Lee wrote what would become known as WorldWideWeb on a NeXT Computer [4] during the second half of 1990, while working for CERN, a European nuclear research agency. The first edition was completed "some time before" 25 December 1990, according to Berners-Lee, after two months of development. [7]
