H-Index & i10-Index
| Database (snapshot October 27, 2026) | h-index | i10-index | Cited by |

The canonical under-citation case: the inventor of the Web has a modest measured h-index because his most influential output is standards and protocols, not journal papers. OpenAlex counts journal-era output conservatively; Scholar also indexes books, theses, preprints and grey literature — Scholar figures typically run higher.

Identity & disambiguation
- OpenAlex author ID: A5025908133
- ORCID: 0000-0003-1279-3709
- Google Scholar: no public profile found
- Verification: Top works: 'The Semantic Web' (2001), Linked Data, and the URI/URL RFCs — standards work, which bibliometric databases index poorly. ORCID 0000-0003-1279-3709 confirms identity.
How does 51 compare to the field? The OpenAlex benchmark dataset (63,665 authors) puts a senior computer science researcher's median h-index far below these numbers — profiles like Berners-Lee's sit in the extreme tail of the distribution. Compare against field × career-stage benchmarks.
