The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has targeted the life sciences as an ideal application area for its Semantic Web technology.
In the beginning, computer systems were only occasionally networked, and when they were, a number of completely different protocols were used to connect one system with another. Then, Tim Berners-Lee said, "Let there be a World Wide Web!" and it was created, and he saw that it was good. After creating one of the biggest revolutionary phenomena in the last two decades, he should have taken a rest at that point.
