This first paper envisaged browsers on client computers that would have read-only access to hypertext documents and databases stored on several different servers. The documents would be transmitted over the network in a standardized hypertext format. |
In November 1990, Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau published a more formal proposal, titled [http://www.w3.org/Proposal.html WorldWideWeb: Proposal for a HyperText Project]. This proposal described the web as a network of links that would allow you to navigate from one node to another, where each node was a hypertext document. It was noted that a world-wide web would require a standard access protocol for requesting documents from remote servers, and a standard information format for the transmitted documents. The proposal also mentioned the possibility of providing a keyword search option (this would later be provided by [[Search Engine]]s). | In November 1990, Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau published a more formal proposal, titled [http://www.w3.org/Proposal.html WorldWideWeb: Proposal for a HyperText Project].
