At that time he wrote a more detailed description of his idea and named it “The Web,” so that’s been seen by some as the Web’s birth date. The events of 1990 raise more questions - Berners-Lee went to work on making a working model of the Web when his proposal was finally approved by CERN in early November 1990. And, notably, just this month, in his article on the future of the Open Web, Berners-Lee says that he’s writing on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Web - So he apparently sees the Web’s birth as having been when he did the nitty-gritty production work on it in 1990.
