<p>"In Mandarin Chinese, World Wide Web is commonly translated via a phono-semantic matching to wàn wéi wǎng (万维网), which satisfies www and literally means "10,000-dimensional net", a translation that reflects the design concept and proliferation of the World Wide Web."</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wi</span><span class="invisible">de_Web</span></a></p><p>via <a href="https://mastodon.social/@mcc/114605076806447333" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="mastodon.social/@mcc/114605076806447333"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.social/@mcc/114605076</span><span class="invisible">806447333</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/internet/" rel="tag">#internet</a> <a href="/tags/theweb/" rel="tag">#TheWeb</a> <a href="/tags/worldwideweb/" rel="tag">#WorldWideWeb</a> <a href="/tags/chinese/" rel="tag">#chinese</a> <a href="/tags/language/" rel="tag">#language</a> <a href="/tags/linguistics/" rel="tag">#linguistics</a></p>

<p>"On 12 November 1990 [Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau] published a formal proposal outlining principal concepts and defining important terms behind the web. The document described a "hypertext project" called "WorldWideWeb" in which a "web" of "hypertext documents" could be viewed by “browsers”."</p><p><a href="https://home.cern/science/computing/where-web-was-born" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="home.cern/science/computing/where-web-was-born"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">home.cern/science/computing/wh</span><span class="invisible">ere-web-was-born</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.w3.org/Proposal.html" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>www.w3.org/Proposal.html</a></p><p><a href="/tags/worldwideweb/" rel="tag">#WorldWideWeb</a> <a href="/tags/hypertextproject/" rel="tag">#HypertextProject</a> <a href="/tags/theweb/" rel="tag">#TheWeb</a> <a href="/tags/internet/" rel="tag">#internet</a> <a href="/tags/techhistory/" rel="tag">#TechHistory</a> <a href="/tags/technology/" rel="tag">#technology</a> <a href="/tags/onthisday/" rel="tag">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="/tags/otd/" rel="tag">#OTD</a></p>
