Robert Cailliau
Robert Cailliau, a Belgian information engineer, is the co-inventor, with his British colleague Tim Berners-Lee, of the World Wide Web (WWW). Developed in 1991 at CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics), near Geneva, the interface they developed allowed a user to navigate by clicking on hypertext links (in the HTML language), the system of navigation on which the Internet is based.
