Summary "The Web, a Multilingual Encyclopedia" by Marie Lebert is a comprehensive reference work written in the early 21st century. This encyclopedia chronicles the development of the internet and its transformation into a multilingual platform, focusing on its evolution from 1974 to 2010. It highlights the significance of the web in promoting linguistic diversity, emphasizing various initiatives and technologies that support communication across different languages. At the start of the encyclopedia, Lebert introduces the early years of the internet, emphasizing key milestones such as the introduction of TCP/IP in 1974, which laid the foundation for global connectivity. The opening portion covers significant developments in the 1990s, including the invention of the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee and the emergence of the first web browsers that made the internet more accessible. The text discusses how these innovations transformed how users interact with information and one another on a global scale, setting the stage for the web's role as a medium for multilingual exchange and cultural collaboration.
