If your first big invention is the World Wide Web, what do you do for an encore? Tim Berners-Lee, the English researcher who created the Web in 1990, has been working on that for a long time.

Berners-Lee’s development of the Web, done with fellow researchers Mike Sendall and Robert Calliau, was part of a project at the European research lab CERN to make the Internet more intuitive.

Before Berners-Lee’s work, there was no Web surfing. Now he thinks the next step in making the Web more useful is to create the standards that enable computers to fully understand the Web and that allow users to find the right information more efficiently.

He and many other forward thinkers are working on the "semantic Web," an enhancement that would provide a universal exchange of data. The semantic Web is sometimes called "Web 3.0," after the Web (Web 1.0) and the social Web (Web 2.0).
