Does CERN also deal with some networking standards? I assume this dates back to ARPNET. we may want to clarify this.
- Normally no, but they did develop the initial World-Wide Web infrastructure, originally for internal documentation purposes. David.Monniaux 00:47, 30 May 2004 (UTC)
The line "It also has very impressive computer and wide-area networking facilities which are primarily used for experimental data analysis." baffles me. What, exactly, is the "it" specified in the first sentence? The accelerator complex? Or the CERN organization? Situated at the beginning of a section as this is, one should not use ambiguous pronouns. Evilweevil 13:11, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I have modified the article to clarify this. --Jll 16:06, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The Grid (http://gridcafe.web.cern.ch/gridcafe/), which AFAIK is being developed mainly at CERN, definitely deserves a section in the article. However, I don't know the inside of the project, so some CERN IT department employee should probably step forward. PS: There is already a Grid computing article.
I'll get to this when i have a moment - i can probably even claim its work!
