I'll give you two examples: Internet Archive. Let's Encrypt.
- KolmogorovComp 2y agoHardly a good reference, Internet Archive is older than Wikipedia.
- Vinnl 2y agoWikipedia itself is only a little over two decades old. I don't think anyone would parse "many decades" as "two decades". There's also OpenStreetMap, exactly two decades old and thus four years younger than Wikipedia.
- bawolff 2y ago> Wikipedia itself is only a little over two decades old The world wide web (but not the internet) is only 3 decades old!
- Retr0id 2y agoLet's Encrypt is very good but it's not exactly a web app, semantic-web or otherwise.
- conzept 2y agoNot true: Wikidata, Open Alex, Europeana, ... and many smaller projects making use of all that data, such as my project Conzept (https://conze.pt https://conze.pt)
