British Queen's honour for Web inventor (ST, 15 Jun 07)

THE British inventor of the World Wide Web has been awarded the Order of Merit.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee joins an elite group who have received the honour from Britain's Queen for exceptional contributions in arts, sciences and other areas, BBC News reported on Wednesday.
He invented the Web's address system and layout in 1991, ultimately revolutionising global communication.
He created his hypertext programme while he was at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva. The code he crafted made it far easier for scientists to share their research and information across a fledgling computer network.
He is now director of the World Wide Web Consortium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, where he is based as an academic.
The Order of Merit is restricted to 24 living members. Past recipients included Florence Nightingale, Sir Winston Churchill, Bertrand Russell, Graham Greene, Sir Edward Elgar, Mother Teresa and Baroness Thatcher.
