Abstract of Talk

SoftQuad presents the Yuri Rubinsky Memorial World Wide Web Award

Murray Maloney will present on Thursday morning, the Yuri Rubinsky Memorial World Wide Web Award. At the last two International World Wide Web Conferences, SoftQuad has presented an award honoring significant achievement and contribution to the development and maintenance of the global information infrastructure. The first of such awards was given to Douglas Engelbart for his work in Hypertext.

At WWW5 Vinton Cerf was honored for his pioneering Internet work. At this time the award was renamed the Yuri Rubinsky Memorial WWW Award, in honor of Yuri Rubinsky, co-founder of SoftQuad, and an early proponent of accessibility and member of the original International World Wide Web Conference Committee. Yuri passed away in 1996.
