The World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN.
The Web is not the Internet itself: it is the linked information system Tim Berners-Lee proposed while working at CERN. This path connects the system to one of the inventors named in its reviewed record.
Wikidata uses P61, “discoverer or inventor,” from the World Wide Web to Tim Berners-Lee. The same property also names Robert Cailliau, so the page does not erase the collaboration behind the Web’s early development.
Historical context
Berners-Lee wrote his first Web proposal at CERN in March 1989.
By the end of 1990 he had implemented key pieces including HTML, HTTP, URLs, the first server, and the first browser-editor.

Google began as a search project built by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in Stanford dorm rooms. This reviewed path connects Page to the company that grew from that collaboration.
Before Apple became a global technology company, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built its earliest chapter from Jobs’s parents’ garage. The reviewed path connects Jobs to the company he co-founded.
Apollo 11 carried three astronauts, each with a distinct job. This reviewed path connects the mission to Neil Armstrong and preserves the qualifier that identifies him as spacecraft commander.
