Sir Tim Berners-Lee opens web foundation
E-commerce
15 September 2008
Sir Tim Berners-Lee has launched a new foundation aimed at allowing all people to make better use of the internet.
The inventor's World Wide Web Foundation will bring together a number of different communities and organisations to conduct and fund research and development relating to web communications, e-commerce and knowledge sharing.
One of the first goals of the foundation is to help those communities that are currently unable to benefit fully from the internet.
Sir Tim commented: "Through this new initiative, we hope to develop an international ecosystem that will help shape the future web. A more inclusive web will benefit us all."
Ahead of the launch, Sir Tim told the BBC that he believed a website labelling system could dispel the problem of people using the web to spread misinformation, one of the issues to be addressed by the World Wide Web Foundation.
