The site, in 2008
A database of the structural features of the world's languages, from sounds to grammar and vocabulary, shown on maps.
Oxford University Press first published it in 2005 as a book with a CD-ROM. It went online in April 2008. The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology maintains it, and the data is free to reuse.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
