The nice thing about programming at the RDF level is that you can just say, I'll ask for all the books. You can ask for all the shelves. You can ask for a given shelf whether a book was on it. And you're not worrying so much about the underlying syntax.
Tim Berners-Lee

Tim Berners-Lee
The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect - to help people work together - and not as a technical toy.
Tim Berners-Lee
The dream behind the Web is of a common information space in which we communicate by sharing information.
Tim Berners-Lee
In '93 to '94, every browser had its own flavor of HTML. So it was very difficult to know what you could put in a Web page and reliably have most of your readership see it.
Tim Berners-Lee
[The internet] ought to be like clay, rather than a sculpture that you observe from a distance.
Tim Berners-Lee
We should work toward a universal linked information system, in which generality and portability are more important than fancy graphics techniques and complex extra facilities.
Tim Berners-Lee

Tim Berners-Lee
